In this week’s episode I break down one HIGH DOLLAR scholarship, and show you how to use what it requires as a template for gathering those items for many other scholarships.
The Ron Brown Scholarship, “honors the legacy of Ronald H. Brown through a selective scholarship program that advances higher education for community-minded and intellectually gifted African Americans. RBSP competitively awards Ron Brown Scholars four-year $40,000 scholarships ($10,000 each year) to the most talented and economically-challenged high school seniors who demonstrate a keen interest in public service, community engagement, business entrepreneurship and global citizenship – the four pillars of the late Ronald H. Brown’s mission to uplift people of all races, cultures and ethnicities – especially our disadvantaged youth.”

Here are some highlights from the episode:
Many applications ask for your college bound teen’s name, and this may seem like a no brainer, but please make sure that any discrepancies with their last name/name are rectified. their name on their birth certificate and social security car should MATCH.
Another item to note is that this scholarships asks for EVERY ONE of the ACT or SAT scores, from EVERY attempt. You should make sure your college bound teen has put their username and password (that allows them to access their scores) somewhere safe so that they can easily retrieve this information.
One more highlight, (though there are more on the podcast):
I can’t say enough times how important strong essays are when applying for scholarships! In my #DebtFreeDegree parent community, I have step by step training for how to write a gripping essay quickly and easily that will earn scholarships AND make your dream school say “Yes.”
My son has earned $164,000 in scholarship so far:). I feel good that he will land a college that will honor his gifts and goals and DEBT FREE.
