Quiz Details
Participants register with the Common Knowledge Scholarship Foundation and compete for scholarships by taking a series of online multiple-choice quizzes at the CKSF website, www.cksf.org. The Cyber Citizenship Team Scholarship Challenge Round consists of two quizzes that cover various internet related topics. For Web sites and sample questions to help prepare for Quiz 1, click here.

Based on the results from the Cyber Citizenship Team Scholarship Challenge Round , the top scoring school team from each county advances to the State Championship. (A school’s team score is the cumulative total of the top 20 student scores). The top five scoring students from each school on the State Championship quiz are then advanced to the National Championship. Each student on the team that wins the National Championship receives a scholarship to the college or university of their choice.
Where are the websites that would help us with this challenge?! You said they would be posted shortly for a while.
The websites will be posted on or before January 15th.
its past the 15th and there aren’t any links
Is there any way that a home school student can participate in this ? Do you group homeschool students in the county or state together to be “a team” ? What would I need to do ?
I have a question about participation. I am home-schooled, so I was wondering how I would participate in a team scholarship. Would I need a partner or public school cooperation of some sort?
nevermind ignore the above post
Can we still move on to the next round if we dont have 20 people from our school?
For homeschooled students to participate, they can either participate with the school they would attend if they were in public or private school or if they belong to a home school group in a particular county, they can contact us at http://www.cksf.org, and we can add that group to our school database.
The top scoring school team from each county moves to the State Championship. We base the school score on the cumulative total of the top 20 student scorers. You could techinically advance with less than 20 students as long as your school score is the highest in your county.
approximately how many people apply for each scholarship?
yay im so excited, I cant wait for tommorow
my first scholarship sign up ever!
What are we supposed to do about “teams?” Is it just a group of people from a specific school with all of our scores grouped together? And if so what is the target score?
Every student at your school is a part of your school’s team. A school’s score is the cumulative total of the top twenty highest scorers at the school. To win this scholarship, make sure you have at least 20 people from your school participating. However, the more students you have participating, the better because there is a better chance that your top 20 scores will be higher.
Is there a website to study for the state championship quiz??
