Imagine unlocking the treasure chest of a debt-free college education for your child. That's precisely what Dave Peterson, fondly known as Dave the scholarship coach, has mastered. Join us as the Burnt Pancakes family welcomes this sage of scholarships to share his journey from a worried parent to a beacon of hope for families striving to sidestep the student loan pitfall. Dave's son's staggering $95,000 scholarship bounty is a testament to the power of early and strategic planning, and throughout our conversation, Dave unveils the map to this hidden treasure for your own college-bound buccaneers.

What's the early bird's reward in the world of scholarships? A veritable worm feast, it turns out! High school juniors and their parents, perk up your ears as Dave guides us through the prime time for scholarship hunting. We spotlight exclusive opportunities for juniors, dissect the fine print of scholarship terms, and underscore the importance of organization and prompt communication. Ever heard of the VFW Voice of Democracy scholarship? This could be the perfect steppingstone for your student's scholarship quest, and we're here to tell you why.

In our final chapter, we pull back the curtain on the staggering $100 million in unclaimed scholarships and arm you with Dave's battle-tested strategies for standout applications. From leveraging the personal touch in recommendation letters to maintaining a meticulous volunteer record, these insights can help your student's application shine. We also navigate the complexities of scholarship policies at various colleges and emphasize the importance of flexibility as students journey through their college years—my own son's pivot from history to economics is a case in point. So, join us for this transformative talk, and let's chart a course toward a debt-free diploma!
