Common Knowledge Team Challenge
About the Scholarship
The Common Knowledge Team Challenge is a practice contest for the upcoming Financial Literacy Scholarship. The program rewards students for demonstrating what they know about “common knowledge.” The contest encourages students to invite as many students as possible at their school to register with CKSF and become part of their school’s team. There is no individual winner, the school with the highest team score at the end of the contest is the National Winner and the top five students are awarded. It is entirely possible for the individual high scoring student to not win if they are not on the winning team.

Quiz Details
Participants register with the Common Knowledge Scholarship Foundation and compete for awards by taking a series of online multiple-choice quizzes at the CKSF web site, www.cksf.org. The Common Knowledge Team Challenge Round consists of two quizzes that cover a wide scope of information thought to be “common knowledge.” The high scorer from the Challenge Round is advanced to the State Championship where after one quiz a State Champion school from each state is recognized and advanced to the National Championship. The National Championship will produce one winning school/team. That school will be recognized as the National Champion and each participant will receive an award.
