CHET Dream Big! Competition

It’s time for Connecticut students to Dream Big! The 2024 CHET Dream Big! Competition is open to all Connecticut residents in grades K-12 and will run through November 4.
 

As part of the Dream Big! Competition, students in grades K-12 submit essays, videos, and artwork based on prompts about helping their community or bettering their lives to compete for nearly $350,000 in prizes awarded through CHET 529 College Savings Plan – Direct Plan account contributions. Three students will each be awarded $20,000 prizes, 24 will each be awarded $5,000 prizes, and 239 will each be awarded $500 prizes. The Dream Big! Competition also awards technology prizes to schools across Connecticut.

In addition to student prizes, every school in Connecticut with at least one student entry will be eligible for a random drawing. Ten schools will win a technology prize, each valued at $5,000. Please see the 2024 competition official rules for more information on prize structure and awards.

As part of the Competition, younger students will be asked a question focusing on lessons they’ve learned and their dreams for the future, and older students will be asked about an experience or person that has impacted them and how that will influence their future goals.
