Cappex Cap Challenge

^[1]The Cappex Cap Challenge on the college and scholarship search site Cappex.com is an online game where site users collect a variety of virtual, illustrated “cap” badges in order to climb levels and become eligible to apply for special scholarships and receive other benefits offered by Cappex.com. It was introduced in November 2010 and has awarded more than 3.4 million virtual caps, according to the site.

The Cap Challenge awards users virtual caps for taking specific actions on the site related to their college and scholarship searches. The more caps users collect by interacting with colleges, applying to scholarships and navigating the Cappex site, the sooner they can travel through higher levels and gain access to special rewards, including an official Cappex baseball cap and the opportunity to apply for certain scholarships.

There are four levels to the program:

Newbie Upon completing a Cappex student profile, students start at Newbie status in the Challenge.

Rising Star Once users have collected five virtual caps based on college and scholarship search actions they take on the site, they reach the Rising Star level.

College Pro At the College Pro level, students can become eligible to apply for a $2,500 scholarship. Users reach this level by collecting 10 virtual caps.

Rock Star At the Rock Star Level, which is awarded for collecting 25 virtual caps, students receive an official Cappex baseball cap and can apply for a $5,000 scholarship.

Scholarship Hound – awarded after applying to one Cappex scholarship
