Subject: The Scholarship Collective Launches Second Annual Vision Board Challenge with $500 in Cash Prizes

New York, New York — December 30, 2024 — The Scholarship Collective, a leading resource for scholarship and academic success, is excited to announce the launch of its second annual Winter Vision Board Challenge, running from January 1 to January 31, 2025. This year’s challenge is bigger than ever, offering a total of $500 in cash prizes to inspire students and families to visualize their 2025 goals and take steps toward achieving them.

With first-place receiving $250, second-place $150, and third-place $100, the Winter Vision Board Challenge encourages students to get creative, set ambitious goals, and showcase their unique visions for the future. Participants are required to submit their vision boards through the membership area for judging based on creativity and goal clarity.

Sade Meeks, Founder of The Scholarship Collective gave the following remarks about the 2025 Challenge:

“We created this challenge to help students and members of our community take charge of their future. As someone who used vision boards to win $200,000 in scholarships, graduate debt-free, and secure internships that paid tens of thousands of dollars, I know firsthand the power of visualizing your goals. This challenge is all about making dreams tangible and achievable.”

The challenge is designed to be accessible and fun, whether participants are experienced with vision boards or creating one for the first time. Past participants have used their boards to set goals for scholarships, internships, personal growth, and academic success.

“As a judge, I’m always blown away by the creativity and ambition of our members,” Sade added. “Each vision board is a reminder of the incredible potential our students have to shape their futures.”
