Is the cost of your child's college education keeping you up at night?

Is your college savings plan insufficient or non-existent?

Are you worried that your student will be paying back student loans for the rest of their life?

Those were my fears, too!

I didn't want my son to be burdened with student loans for 20+ years of his life. But, I had failed to save enough money to pay for his college degree. So, I coached him to win nearly $100,000 in scholarships, and he's now a debt-free college graduate!

Students don't need a perfect 4.0 GPA to win scholarships!

Average students can win scholarships if they know how.

Students don't have to come from a low-income household to win scholarships!

Most scholarships don't even ask about a student's financial situation.

Students don't have to be star athletes to win scholarships!

Sports scholarships make up a tiny fraction of the scholarships out there.

Having success with scholarships requires a plan, and that’s what Scholarship GPS provides.

The course features concise video lessons designed to seamlessly fit into your busy schedule, allowing you to learn at your own pace. Throughout the course, you'll acquire essential scholarship skills, including:

- How to identify the best scholarships based on your student's profile

- Tips and best practices for scholarship applications, essays, and projects

- The importance of crafting your student's Personal Narrative, a key element in winning scholarships

Additionally, you will have access to helpful tools such as:

- A scholarship tracking tool preloaded with quick and easy no-essay scholarships for immediate application

- A scholarship checklist template to ensure completion of applications

- An activity log to track your student's volunteer experiences

Now is your last chance to get lifetime access to the Scholarship GPS Course at the introductory rate of just $97.

Soon, the price of Scholarship GPS will more than double! So, don’t delay.

I recently spoke with Dave Walker of Walker Prep about why students’ standardized test scores often don’t correlate with the grades the student receives in school.

In our conversation, Dave shared:

The effects of “grade inflation” on the mismatch between standardized test scores vs. school grades.

  • What explains a student who doesn’t struggle with in-school tests but does struggle with standardized tests.

  • Why students need to adopt a different paradigm for standardized tests compared to in-school tests.

  • Tips for improving your test scores.

    The earlier students identify their passion and purpose, the more success they will have with scholarships and college admissions. If you or your student are struggling to identify things like a future college major or career, please check out the services offered by Lisa Marker-Robbins.
