Complete the Banzai Rewards Scholarship modules, score 85% or higher on all post-tests, and submit the online application to win one of (2) $5,000 scholarships to be used towards your 2- or 4-year US college education!
To qualify for this reward, participants must complete all modules included in this section and pass all required post-tests. Completing the modules does not automatically enter you for the scholarship. You still must complete the online application to apply for the scholarship.
Important Note: You do NOT need to take the sections in order. All pre-tests are listed first with the scenario games in between and post-tests at the end.
