Money and Mental Peace - Scholarship, Dave Ramsey Baby Steps, Debt-Free College, FAFSA 2025, Scholarships for College

Are you worried about how to pay for college? Stressed because it’s so expensive? Are you having trouble finding scholarships, or all you find don’t apply to you? Overwhelmed with all things school and money? Welcome fam! This podcast will help you find and get scholarships, avoid student loans and maybe even graduate college debt-free! Hey! I’m Kara, a Christian entrepreneur, amateur snowboarder, and scholarship BEAST! I figured out how to not only finish college debt-free, but I even had $10k left over in the bank after graduation. (& btw, my parents weren’t able to help me financially either!) During school, I was worried about paying for next semester. I couldn’t find scholarships that worked specifically for me, and didn’t know how to get started while juggling homework and keeping up with ALL.THE.THINGS. But dude, I learned there was a better way! With God’s direction, I tested out of classes, and found the perfect scholarships, grants, internships, and weird budget hacks that helped me go from overwhelmed to debt-free with $10k in the bank–all with God on my side. ... and I’m here to walk you through this, too. If you are ready to find scholarships specific to you, learn to manage your money well, and have enough money to kill it at college, this pod is for you! So grab your cold brew and TI-89, and listen in on the most stress-free and debt-free class you’ve ever attended: this is Money and Mental Peace. **Get Scholarships and Pay For College Without Student Loans** WANT ME TO FIND YOU UP TO $30,000 IN SCHOLARSHIP OPPORTUNITIES!? --> https://calendly.com/moneyandmentalpeace Facebook --> Christian College Girl Community - Scholarships & Graduate Debt-Free - https://www.facebook.com/groups/734349047530666 Connect --> info@moneyandmentalpeace.com Instagram --> @moneyandmentalpeace - https://www.instagram.com/moneyandmentalpeace/ Topics included in this podcast: debt free, college scholarships, graduate scholarships, undergraduate scholarships, budget tips, financial freedom, save money how, save money tips, saving money tips, scholarships for graduate students, scholarships for undergraduate students, financial peace university, financial peace by Dave Ramsey, college degree, budgeting, dual enrollment, dual enroll, college grants, grants for college, pell grant, pell grant, pell grant fafsa, STEM scholarships, college fund 529, 529 plan, 529 plan best, parent plus loan, federal student loan, private student loan, Ramsey Solutions, every dollar app, EveryDollar app, debt free degree, debt-free degree, net price calculator, myintuition, scholarships for high school seniors, scholarships for high school students, scholarship owl, scholarships 360, scholarships360, scholarships to apply for, Dave Ramsey budget, scholarship search engines, financial peace university by dave ramsey, scholarshipowl scholarship, scholarships for graduate students women, financial peace university with dave ramsey
