  • Complete all my classroom assignments?
  • Complete all of my homework?
  • Help other students?

If your child receives a Winners Scholarship, the money will be held in a special account through the Education Foundation of Palm Beach County, Inc. Upon entry into college, please contact the Education Foundation and a check for $1,000 (plus any accrued interest) will be available for use at an approved college or vocational program. The scholarship must be used before the student’s 21st birthday.

Please contact Karyn Keil at Karyn@EducationFoundationPBC.org or 561-738-2931 to have the scholarship activated at the student’s approved college/university/vocational school.
