The Bratz Scholarship - new Scholarship

$60,000 to Be Given Away to Students with Passion and Spirit

Popular teen BFFs, The Bratz, have launched a $60,000 scholarship contest as part of their newest DVD release: “Bratz: The Movie.” The good news is you don’t have to buy or even watch the new DVD to participate.

Who are the Bratz? The Bratz girls started life as animated characters: each wholesome and sassy in her own peculiar way. Each character personifies a particular characteristic that sets her apart, makes her a standout, an individual, an inspiration to pre-teens and teens often vulnerable to peer pressure. For example, Sasha is passionate about music and goes for the gusto; Yasmin is the introvert, with a totally individual fashion sense, and Chloe is big into soccer and photography. And the list of Bratz goes on.

What you really need to know:

Four winners in the Bratz Scholarship contest will each receive a $15,000 scholarship.
