In this episode, Shellee and Sherri discuss:
- Scholarship myths
- What Imagine Scholarships do to protect students
- Making the most of opportunities
- A scholarship’s expectations of the applicant
Key Takeaways:
- No matter what your circumstances are, there are scholarships available for everyone, regardless of merit or need. Students and parents who are committed to the process are always able to find funding – the earlier they start, the more money they’ll find.
- It is the right of students from all walks of life to receive an education without debt, and it is more likely to happen when scholarship providers do not sell or share students’ personal information with third parties.
- There’s something for everyone, regardless of their academic standing. Those who are willing to seek out these opportunities will have an exciting future ahead of them.
- Many scholarships are essay-based, but there are still quite a few that give students the chance to shine in their areas of strength.
