From $0 to $185,000 in Scholarships In One Year!

It was one year ago that I started working with Victoria as one of my Class of 2025 scholarship coaching students. Victoria is an accomplished student, but over the past year, she has realized that accomplishments alone aren’t enough to earn scholarships. So, how did Victoria go from zero scholarship wins one year ago to over $185,000 in scholarships today?

In our conversation, we discussed:

• Advice for rising seniors (Class of 2026)

• Advice for younger students

• The need for a compelling Personal Narrative

• The need for practice and repeatedly refining a student’s scholarship essays

• How Victoria stayed motivated in the face of numerous scholarship losses

• The need for parental involvement in the scholarship process

• How the scholarship process gave Victoria confidence in her future plans

• The importance of applying for the right scholarships based on the student’s profile

• How scholarship essays are different than what students write in school

• The non-monetary value of applying for scholarships

Listen to my interview with Victoria and her mom, Nicole, here:

UPDATE: Since the recording of our conversation, Victoria has been awarded another scholarship, renewable each year of college! Her scholarship total is now over $200,000!
