Our school is proud to announce that Joseph Asrat has won a scholarship award from the 2023 Payback Challenge from NGPF!
The annual scholarship competition challenges high school students to play PAYBACK, a Webby Award-winning college cost simulation featured in the New York Times. In the game, students endeavor through a 4-year university, balancing their character’s academic focus, happiness, and career networking opportunities while minimizing their student debt burden. For the scholarship competition, each student reflects on their experience in an essay, podcast clip, or video. Graders throughout the U.S. review each submission anonymously, and the best submissions win scholarship funds provided by the financial education non-profit Next Gen Personal Finance.
Joseph Asrat’s entry was selected from over 850 Payback Challenge submissions this year, which includes scholarship funds that can be used for any educational or career pursuit after graduation.
Congratulations, Joseph Asrat!
