Best Vocabulary Wins College Tuition

Competition for High School Students

Encourage your high school students (grades 9-12) to participate in the National Vocabulary Championship (NVC), a competition that challenges students to test their vocabulary skills against other students across the country for a chance to win $40,000 toward college tuition.

Citywide championships provide a chance to win $5,000 in scholarships and school grants as well as a trip to finals. Fifty finalists will compete February 2007 for $40,000. Finals will be televised on the Game Show Network.

The competitions begin soon. Students who attend participating schools will compete on a date scheduled for their school --  between October 30 and December 13, 2006. Eligible students who do not attend a participating school may take the National Qualifying Exam at the Win With Words Web site between October 27 and November 5, 2006. 

For more details, see the Win With Words Web site.

The National Vocabulary Championship (NVC) is a Game Show Network initiative that uses competition and wordplay to teach the value of a strong vocabulary.
