THE DREAM OUT LOUD CHALLENGE PROVIDES K-6 GRADERS A CHANCE TO WIN CASH TOWARD COLLEGE 

The Minnesota College Savings Plan is sponsoring the Dream Out Loud challenge to prompt family discussion about how higher education can help children realize their dreams and to promote the importance of saving early for college.

To enter, Minnesota K-6 graders can submit a creative work of art on how they will change the world after college for a chance to win $2,500 cash toward college. The winner’s school will also receive $1,000.  For entry requirements, the official rules and entry forms, please visit www.DreamOutLoudMN.com.  Information will also be sent to all schools prior to the start of the contest. The contest begins February 1, 2010 ends April 12, 2010. (The link will not be active outside of those dates). No Purchase Necessary. Void where Prohibited. 

When it comes to the dream of higher education, the reality of rising tuition can make that dream look out of reach. It doesn't have to be that way.
