Academic Challenge is an Urban League of Lexington initiative in partnership with Fayette County Public Schools and Kentucky colleges awarding scholarships. Students in grades 2-5 from participating Title I elementary schools can flex their academic muscles through quiz bowl competition in three regions, with the primary and intermediate division winners advancing to the Superintendent’s Cup.
