Earn More Than a Diploma: How Students Can Find Direction, Purpose, and a Future That Excites Them! + 7 Scholarships!

In the last 45 days, I have had multiple Scholarship GPS students earn full-tuition and other large scholarships.

But the road to those students' scholarship success started many months before.

These students learned what scholarships are looking for in applicants.

They practiced their scholarship skills by applying for several scholarships.

They made scholarships a priority and learned how to improve their applications entry by entry.

And, many of those students started by participating in last year's Scholarship Summer Camp.

Now, I know summer seems like a long way off - but can you it’s already April? Summer will be here before you know it!

Summer is the perfect time for students to learn the scholarship process.

With no school and no homework, students have the time and mental space to devote a few minutes per day to learn the secrets to scholarship success.

Because I know you want to do everything you can to set your student up for scholarship success, I'm opening early registration to the Scholarship Summer Camp for my podcast listeners.

By participating in the Scholarship Summer Camp, your student will learn the skills required for scholarship success by applying for real scholarships, including a $35,000 scholarship capstone project!

Every Monday through Thursday, a new, pre-recorded lesson will be released. These can be watched on-demand, based on the student's schedule.

On Thursday evenings, we will be live (but recorded for future viewing), discussing the week's lessons and taking Q&A.

Here's the agenda:

Week 1: The Tools For Scholarship Success

Week 2: Your Personal Narrative

Week 3: Finding The Right Scholarships For You

Week 4: Why Do You Deserve To Win This Scholarship? (Apply for a Real Scholarship This Week!)

Week 5: Topical Scholarships (Apply for Another Real Scholarship This Week!)

Week 6: $35,000 Capstone Scholarship Project!

This year, I'm offering two different sessions. Choose the one that works best with your schedule.

Session A starts June 1st.

Session B starts July 27th.

Plus, I'm offering a 50% discount if you register this month!

The Scholarship Summer Camp is my most popular program. Space is limited, so don't delay!
