Scholarships for High School & College Students + How to Help Your Student Become a Lifelong Learner

I recently spoke with Kami Wanous, the creator of the Raising Leaders Roadmap and a homeschool mentor. A credentialed teacher with over seven years in public education and homeschooling since 2008, she draws on her background in English, leadership, and freedom principles to guide families toward meaningful learning. Kami helps homeschool parents create a culture that inspires a lifelong love of learning—equipping them to mentor with confidence and raise passionate leaders who make an impact in the world. She has been featured on CBS News and as a guest writer and speaker for homeschooling conventions, blogs, magazines, podcasts, and YouTube channels.

In our conversation, Kami and I discussed:

• What it means to be a lifelong learner

• What a lifelong learner looks like

• Why being a lifelong learner is important for our kids headed to college

• Whether students can be "successful" in college without being lifelong learners

• How parents help our kids become lifelong learners

• And much more…

Families often focus on GPA and test scores when it comes to scholarships—but there’s another powerful lever: your student’s college major.

In this free, live panel event, master career coach Lisa Marker-Robbins and scholarship strategist Dave Peterson will explain how students who make intentional, well-informed major choices can unlock more merit-based and private scholarship opportunities—and how to jump-start the process so you don’t leave money on the table.

You’ll also hear insights from our moderators, Mike Bergin and Amy Seeley, hosts of the Tests and the Rest podcast, as we discuss:

✅How early career exploration improves both college applications and scholarship outcomes

✅What scholarship committees are really looking for—and how your teen can stand out

✅When and how to begin the process before deadlines sneak up

✅Real stories of students who aligned their goals and earned more aid

This is a live, interactive session—we’ll take your questions during the event and offer expert guidance you can act on right away.

Whether your teen is unsure about their major or already has a goal in mind, this session will help you uncover new financial opportunities you may be missing. Click here to register: https://courses.flourishcoachingco.com/scholarships-majors
