Northeast High School senior Zhane Wiggins knew she was supposed to attend an assembly with her fellow seniors this morning to hear representatives of the College Board speak about college scholarship opportunities. She soon found out that was only part of the story.

A few minutes into the assembly, College Board officials surprised Zhane with the news that she had won one of two monthly $40,000 BigFuture scholarships for completing key college and career planning steps. BigFuture is a free, online resource that helps students take the right first step after high school and personalize their plan for their future with resources to explore careers, plan for college, and pay for college
