FAQ

How will you verify that a student has completed these eligibility steps?

When students are logged in to their College Board account, the BigFuture dashboard automatically verifies a student’s activity for 4 of the 6 steps: Start Your Career List, Start Your College List, Start Your Scholarship List, and Strengthen Your College List. 2 of the 6 steps take place outside of the College Board’s BigFuture website: Complete the FAFSA and Apply to Colleges. To confirm the completion of those steps and qualify for a scholarship drawing entry, students will be prompted to provide additional information that confirms the step has been completed such as submitting a screenshot of the email confirming the action.
