Yes, middle school students can win scholarships!
Middle school is the perfect time to start the scholarship journey. It makes scholarships part of the student's regular routine, gives them the experience and practice they need to be better scholarship applicants than their peers, and allows the student (and parent) to build their Personal Narrative to align with future scholarships.
NOTE: Program is for U.S. students in grades 6, 7, and 8 only.
Absolutely.
The challenge isn't finding scholarships.
The challenge is knowing which opportunities fit your student, understanding what scholarship judges are looking for, and creating strong applications. That's what the Scholarship Navigator program provides.
The most successful families approach scholarships as a team effort.
Parents stay involved while students take ownership of the applications and essays. Dave is there to guide the process and assist along the way.
Many families who earn significant scholarship money begin their preparations before high school.
Starting earlier gives students more opportunities, more experience, and more time to improve.
No.
Many successful scholarship winners are not valedictorians, perfect test scorers, or elite athletes.
They simply learn the process and apply consistently.
They start before they feel ready.
Every scholarship application teaches your student something.
Every essay helps them improve.
Every opportunity builds momentum.
Scholarship Navigator gives your family the guidance, feedback, and support to approach the scholarship process with confidence.
