American Heritage Schools is thrilled to announce that Lance Stus, a sophomore at the schools’ Broward Campus, has won a $40,000 BigFuture Scholarship for taking key steps to plan for his future by creating a college list on the BigFuture app. His dedication to preparing for college has not gone unnoticed – he is the first student in the Class of 2027 nationwide to receive this scholarship!
Figuring out the right step after high school can feel overwhelming. And when every student’s path to what comes next is unique, it can also feel complicated. BigFuture helps millions of students personalize their plan for their future with resources to explore careers, plan for college and pay for college. Driven by insights from real students, educators, and industry leaders, and backed by over 100 years of College Board research, BigFuture has the information students need, all in one place.
With the rising concern from families on how to afford plans after high school for college and a career, BigFuture helps encourage students to take important actions toward their future. Every month, BigFuture scholarships reward students who complete steps in the planning process—with more than $16 million granted since the program launched in December 2018.
“When it comes to planning for life after high school, students benefit when discovery is paired with action. It’s why BigFuture Scholarships reward students as they explore colleges and careers that might be right for them,” said Tarlin Ray, College Board senior vice president of BigFuture. “And when the steps can be taken by any student, regardless of where they are on their journey, more students can join Lance on the path to a big future.”
College Board has dedicated $25 million to the program and has awarded more than $18 million to more than 20,000 students to date. Students in the class of 2024, 2025, and 2026 can learn more at bigfuture.org.
