Hey NGPF Community!

Welcome to a new installment of Kenna’s Korner!

I'm so excited to share with you all that NGPF is offering additional scholarships in my hometown of Cleveland, Ohio! In an effort to provide additional funding to students who need it the most, NGPF has committed to providing not just 2 honorable mention awards in Ohio - but an additional 15 honorable mention awards and a grand prize winner specifically in the greater Cleveland area. That's a total of over $12,000 just for students attending schools in Cleveland! Being that this is where I grew up and went to school, I cannot wait for all of my friends, relatives, teachers, administrators and mentors to work with current students to play Payback and enter the contest.

This an incredible opportunity your student to not just earn free money for college, but also to experience a simulation that is very realistic in showing what college decisions are actually like. I am fresh out of my first year in college, and I can attest to the accuracy and intricacy of the game! I really enjoyed playing the game and wish that I had something like this available to me before I went off to college!

For all details about the Payback Challenge, check out this blog post from Tim. 

We hope you can help us spread the word out to as many schools in Cleveland as possible. If you're thinking of someone there now, go ahead and forward them this email!

PLEASE DON’T MISS OUT! Play Payback and win BIG for college!
