Benjamin Lam wins scholarship in national Payback Challenge Contest |
Benjamin Lam won a scholarship by completing the Payback Challenge game with Next Gen Personal Finance and writing an essay about his experience. The Payback Challenge game is a simulation that shows students what life in college will be like with a financial focus. Ben was chosen as the representative from Bishop Chatard, and then he was chosen from all the submissions across the nation as an Honorable mention scholarship winner.
To be eligible, each student participating in the NGPF Payback Challenge played PAYBACK, a college simulation game, and then chose between writing an essay or creating a video in response to the following prompt: Now that you’ve explored a college experience by playing PAYBACK, what did you learn from the game that you’ll be able to apply to your future experiences? Include relevant excerpts from the PAYBACK game to enhance your key points.
Submissions were evaluated based on creativity, clarity, and demonstration of an understanding of key concepts learned from playing PAYBACK. Thousands of students participated and nearly 1,000 teachers nominated the best student essay from their classes.
Congratulations, Ben!
