If so, you may want to consult a high school student! These are topics that have been tackled in past Moody's Mega Math Challenge competitions, where teams of students are given 14 hours to solve an open-ended, realistic, applied math-modeling problem focused on real-world issues, and are able to use any free, publicly available, and inanimate sources of information to help them. Registration is now open for the 2010 M3 Challenge which will be held during the weekend of March 6-7. The Challenge has expanded this year to include high schools along the entire East Coast, from Maine to Florida. Scholarship prizes have also increased—$100,000 will be awarded in 2010. There are no entrance or participation fees and each high school may enter up to two teams of three to five students each.

To be eligible for this scholarship the only qualification is that you must have at one time played in a Dixie Youth Baseball league. There is no relationship between the award of a scholarship and athletic ability. In the selection process, the Scholarship Committee, composed of National Directors, does give weight to such other factors as financial need, scholastic record and citizenship. Only students entering college for the first time may apply for a scholarship.

The philosophy of the NBA Scholarship Program differs from traditional scholarship programs in that NBA Scholarships will be awarded to students who possess academic credentials in the average to above-average range. In general, average and above-average academic credentials are, for high school seniors, those that rank a student in the top third of the senior class but not in the top 10 percent. Standardized test scores should range, for the ACT Composite, from 18 to 26, or, for the SAT, combined Verbal and Math, from 850 to 1170. Students enrolled in college should present college GPAs that range from 2.50 to 3.50 on a 4.00 scale, in addition to the proper high school credentials.
