The Biblical Common Knowledge Challenge

Wednesday, November 7th, 2007

Been called a bible thumper or Jesus freak lately? It could be good news; it may serve as evidence that you have the knowledge that it takes to compete in the Biblical Common Knowledge Challenge.

The Biblical Common Knowledge Challenge is sponsored by the Common Knowledge Scholarship Fund (CKFS.org). CKFS has been providing scholarships since 2000 when the organization’s website was first launched.

According to their website the mission of CKFS is to:

Create scholarly (educational) and scholarship (financial) opportunities in which participants of all levels have a fair and equal chance to participate and be successful.

They accomplish this in large part by rewarding students for what they know and can share about the subjects that they are familiar with and interested in…Afterall, real life is really all that counts right? So street smarts–no matter how ignored by other scholarship providers–are well rewarded at CKFS.org.

If you are interested in participating in the Biblical Common Knowledge Challenge simply take the quizzes which are made available on the website each March. Scholarship award amounts may vary, but will be a minimum of $150 towards your tuition related expenses. CKFS also provides a study guide to help you prepare for this quiz, so if you are interested in participating visit the website for more details about the challenge.
