KnowHow2GO Wisconsin/EdVest Video Contest
Launched in honor of Wisconsin Higher Education Day, the video contest asks students throughout the state to create videos dramatizing one of the KnowHow2GOWisconsin “Four Steps” to college:
- Be a pain – Tell everyone you know that you’re going to college and need their help;
- Push yourself – Study hard and get good grades;
- Find the right fit – Find out what kind of school is the best match for you and your career goals; and,
- Put your hands on some cash – If you think you can’t afford college, think again. There’s lots of aid out there.
1st prize will be $1,000 EdVest scholarship for each team member
2nd and 3rd prize will be $500 EdVest scholarship for each team member
