BigFuture Scholarships are open to students regardless of their family income. At least half of all the scholarships, however, will be designated for students whose families earn less than $60,000 per year. When students who meet these requirements complete a college planning step, they’ll get an extra entry in monthly drawings and have more chances to earn scholarships.

You can get extra scholarship entries if:

1. Your annual family income is less than $60,000.

OR

2. You’re eligible for a fee waiver for a College Board assessment (if any of these statements are true):

• You're enrolled in or eligible to participate in the National School Lunch Program (NSLP).
• Your annual family income falls within the Income Eligibility Guidelines set by the USDA Food and Nutrition Service.
• You're enrolled in a federal, state, or local program that aids students from low-income families (e.g., Federal TRIO programs such as Upward Bound).
• Your family receives public assistance.
• You live in federally subsidized public housing or a foster home, or are homeless.
• You are a ward of the state or an orphan.
• If the above applies to you, please opt in for extra entries below. If you select this option and win a scholarship, you may be asked to verify family income by using a secure document system.
