There are up to three $1,000 Scholarships available.  The scholarship winners are also eligible to advance to the regional and national rounds where additional scholarships are awarded.

The scholarships are for residents of publicly-owned housing units or participants in a rent assistance program & may be used for any accredited post-secondary education program, except for graduate or post-graduate programs.
