Info Scholarship - The Black History Common Knowledge Challenge

February is Black History month, and each year the Common Knowledge Scholarship Foundation sponsors the Black History Common Knowledge Challenge. This is a national scholarship with a $250 award.

According to the website, CKSF.org offers this scholarship in an effort to:

Test the knowledge of Black cultural, education, and milestones of the African-American experience. Dr. Carter G. Woodson, a staunch advocate for the incorporation of Black History as an authentic and important component of American History teachings, originated “Black History Week” in 1926. In the 1960s, the concept developed into its current status — “Black History Month.”

Quiz dates are as follows:

Quiz 1: Feb. 11-24
