The Scholarship GPS Podcast: Your Directions to a Debt-Free College Degree

Finding Your Voice For Your College Admissions Essays + 5 Scholarship Opportunities

Listen Later

I recently spoke with Maggie Finn and Jacklyn Angell of Summit Academic Support.

In our conversation, we discussed:

  • The biggest mistake students make when writing their college essays—and how they can avoid it.
  • How students can make their college essay stand out, even if they don’t have a “dramatic” story to tell
  • Common myth about college essays.
  • How students can find their unique voice when writing their essays.
  • Some of Maggie and Jacklyn’s favorite transformation stories of working with students.
  • What should families look for when choosing someone to help with college essays.

    I have long said that scholarships give students and parents freedom. But, scholarships also give them power. It’s never too early to begin a student’s scholarship journey, and it’s only too late if the student has graduated from college. If you would like to begin your scholarship journey, check out the Scholarship Navigator Program for the Class of 2026, or for the Class of 2027, or for the Class of 2028. Go to www.ScholarshipGPS.com/services to find the right program for your student.
