Scholarships for the Classes of 2028 and 2029!

Starting your scholarship journey as a high school freshman or sophomore provides your student with many advantages, including:

• Getting a head start with scholarships compared to their peers - I’ve had freshmen win $2500 scholarships and sophomores win $5000 scholarships!

• More opportunities to earn scholarships

• Resume enhancement (a scholarship win on a resume looks great!)

• Improved writing skills (needed to do well in college!)

• Preparation for the huge scholarships open during senior year

• Great practice for the college admissions process

• The opportunity to build a set of re-usable essays for future scholarship applications

• And much more

However, most families struggle with the scholarship process, which is why we are proud to introduce…

The Scholarship Navigator Program for High School Freshmen and Sophomores

This program includes:

• Monthly webinars: A new topic or scholarship will be covered in depth during these live webinars. Plus, time will be allotted for Q&A.

• Online Support: You'll have direct email access to Dave The Scholarship Coach, a seasoned expert in the field. Dave is here to help you navigate the complex world of scholarships and get your questions answered!

• A custom list of scholarships for which your Class of 2028 or Class of 2029 grad is eligible. Your student’s custom list will include a minimum of 20 scholarships, including national and local scholarships (if local scholarships are available) and a mix of small and large scholarships.

• Personalized help with up to three scholarship applications & essays each month. These can be any scholarships of your choice, not just scholarships from your custom list. (Please allow three business days for feedback on your scholarship essays, projects, and applications.)

• Access to the Scholarship GPS Course, where students can learn best practices for scholarship success. Lessons include: How/Where to find scholarships, application and essay best practices, sample scholarship-winning essays, and much more.
