Scoring
For all CKSF Scholarship programs 500 points are awarded for each correct answer and one (1) point is deducted for each second taken to complete each question. Results are available immediately to each participant and the overall ranking is available within three (3) hours under the "Current Scholarship Ranking" at www.cksf.org

Claiming & Awarding Scholarships
Verified winners are notified by U.S. mail and must return a validation form before being declared a CKSF scholarship winner. Upon receiving the signed validation form, an electronic claim form will become available in the student's CKSF account. This form must be completed in its entirety to claim an award.

Scholarship checks are distributed once per year to students who have a properly completed claim form. Checks are written payable to the winner's post secondary school of choice and deposited directly into the student's Financial Aid account.
