The Connecticut Higher Education Trust (CHET) extended the deadline for the annual CHET Dream Big! Competition to April 30th. Parents, teachers and guardians can conveniently access entry materials from home at www.chetdreambig.com.
The competition features two entry categories based on grade level:
- Students in grades K through 3 are asked to submit an original drawing that answers the question, “What do I want to do after I go to college?”
- Fourth through eighth graders are asked to write a 250-word essay that responds to the question, “How will I make a difference in my community or in the world after I go to college?”
Forty-eight students will be awarded a contribution to a CHET 529 college savings account of either $1,000 or $529. Over $27,000 will be awarded.
