Common Knowledge Scholarship Foundation Internet Quiz Scholarships (Visit this link)

Our Mission is to create scholarly (educational) and scholarship (financial) opportunities in which participants of all levels have a fair and equal chance to participate and be successful.
CKSF is striving to create an environment in which learning is a fun by-product of what our participants naturally long to do; be online, be competitive, and to be provided instant feedback to measure ranking and progress with and against their peers.
CKSF is committed to the development of educators and recognition of schools. Our school scholarship competitions offer scholarship awards to students, teachers, and individual schools. See "Current Scholarship Competitions" to learn more about our upcoming school-based and individual scholarship competitions.
CKSF OVERVIEW
Developed and administered at Nova Southeastern University, the Common Knowledge Scholarship Foundation (CKSF) awards scholarships to students through Internet-based quiz competitions. CKSF reward students for demonstrating what they know. There is no essay writing or long applications to complete. Students receive scholarship awards based on common knowledge and basic education curricula. The primary focus is to have an objective competition that rewards students who have well-rounded, practical knowledge, and not necessarily those with the highest academic standing.
History
The first Common Knowledge Scholarship was created in January of 2000 for high school students in Norway, Michigan. The goal was to find a way in which all students would have a fair chance at winning the scholarship, unlike most programs that routinely favor students who are the strongest academic performers. The scholarship was based on well-rounded practical knowledge, rather than textbook and classroom material. Hence, the "Common Knowledge" scholarship was created.

Approximate scholarship value: $ 10000000
