Redefining Ready!
April 26, 2017
Dear AASA Members,
We know students are more than a score, and now we're asking
them to tell us how.
As part of the Redefining Ready! movement, AASA is
partnering with Hobsons to offer the 2017 Redefining Ready! National
Scholarship. The scholarship contest allows America's graduating high school
seniors the opportunity to tell the world how they are college, career and life
ready beyond a single test score.
Sixteen scholarships will be awarded to high school
graduating seniors, including a grand prize of $5,000. Winners will be based on
a 30-second Twitter video entry and a short written prompt. Creativity counts,
but so does honest, authentic and compelling content.
The scholarship contest is now open and closes on Monday,
May 22. For more information and official contest rules, visit
www.redefiningready.org/national-scholarship.
We hope you will promote this to your staff, parents and
students. To download sample communication templates for these stakeholders,

Thank you,
Mort Sherman
AASA Associate Executive Director
