Redefining Ready! Scholarship
Students are more than the score they earn on a standardized test.
Our nation’s high schools, including High School District 214, strive to provide students with rigorous academic programs, personalized and career-specific learning experiences and social and emotional skills that prepare them to be global citizens in an ever-changing world. Standardized test scores are just one of many indicators that demonstrate readiness for life beyond high school.
District 214's Redefining Ready! Scholarship asks our seniors to tell us -- and the world -- why they are college or career ready, beyond a test score.
Examples include completion of an internship or career certification, successful completion of Advanced Placement or dual credit classes, near-perfect attendance, participation in school activities or service within the community.
Tell your story in a 30-second (max) video posted to Twitter.
