Nnotice the categories that the applicant must list on their application for the Coca-Cola and Elks Scholarships, as well as the topic of the essay:
• Academics
• Extracurriculars
• Volunteering
• Work Experience
• Leadership
These are the same categories that I refer to as The Five Pillars of a Student’s Personal Narrative.
Students don’t need to have experiences in all five of the Pillars, but they do need to know how to tie their experiences together in a compelling way that grabs the judge’s attention.
That is what I spend so much time helping students with in the Scholarship Navigator programs. With programs for students in the Classes of 2027, 2028, 2029, 2030, middle school, and college students, students get personalized assistance building their Personal Narrative, essay reviews, editing, and suggestions, a custom list of scholarships that match the student’s profile, and much more.
If you would like to learn more about the Scholarship Navigator programs, I am offering a limited number of free 15-minute Zoom meetings to answer your questions. To book your free consultation, click here.
Jennifer Gershberg is a campus and keynote speaker and a former University of Maryland professor. Through her campus programs, keynotes, trainings, and online courses, she helps prospective and current college students build confidence and competence by teaching them the fundamental skills they need for academic and professional success. While on the faculty at the University of Maryland, Jennifer won numerous teaching awards, including the highly coveted Allen J. Krowe Award for Teaching Excellence. She has been a featured guest on multiple podcasts, including Real Housewives of New Jersey Margaret Josephs’ “Caviar Dreams, Tuna Fish Budget.” Jennifer attended Cornell University and the George Washington University Law School.
Jennifer’s speaking career is a product of her deep concern for and commitment to student wellbeing. As a professor, she observed a continuous decline in student competencies and mental health following the pandemic and felt compelled to broaden her impact, leading her to this work. Jennifer is known for her natural ease and connection with students, relatability, genuine investment in student success, and being “nurturing but tough -- exactly what students need.” (source: a student)
In our conversation, we discussed:
• How students build confidence and reduce anxiety
• Some of the academic challenges she noticed college students commonly face
• Advice for students who need to ask for letters of recommendation
• Advice for parents to help their children launch into college successfully
The bad news: Let’s be honest—the transition to college comes with challenges. As summer arrives, many students and parents are feeling the pinch of college costs.

Now, here’s the good news: I’ve partnered with former college professor Jennifer Gershberg to help you turn these hurdles into opportunities for success. Jennifer is passionate about equipping students with essential skills—from time management to building strong relationships with professors—that set them up for college and beyond.
Her “Welcome to College! Bootcamp for Incoming Students” is specifically designed to prepare incoming students for the demands of college life, making the transition smoother and more confident. For just $159—a tiny investment compared to the staggering costs of college—this course offers immense value.
And here’s the best part: when you enroll through this link only, you’ll receive the Scholarship GPS course for free! (That’s a $197 value!)

When Sarah's son experienced a medical emergency during his first semester of college, she suddenly found herself navigating an unexpected situation no family plans for. Fortunately, she had purchased GradGuard Tuition Insurance when her son started at Denison University. What began as a simple precaution became an invaluable source of support during a difficult time. In this testimonial, she shares how the claims process was straightforward, responsive, and easy to navigate, allowing her family to focus on what mattered most: her son's health and recovery. The tuition refund provided the flexibility and financial relief they needed while he took time away from school to heal before successfully returning to continue his education. Like homeowners or car insurance, you hope you never need to use it but it's comforting to know it's there if you do. Listen to her story and learn how tuition insurance helped provide peace of mind when the unexpected happened. 🎓 To learn more about GradGuard Tuition Insurance, click here.

Cheryl shares how simple the claims process felt, how helpful the team was along the way, and how receiving a tuition refund gave their family the time and flexibility to determine the best path forward.

A conversation with one of Alex’s friends completely altered his college search process. His friend just started his first year at Duke University and was raving about the campus, the culture, and the opportunities. At that time, Duke wasn’t super high on Alex’s list, but that conversation set him on the path of becoming a life-long Blue Devil.
As Alex’s college experience played out, he came to realize the influence of those words and see that the most valuable thing a prospective student could have during a college visit was insights to someone who genuinely lived the experience they were imagining for themselves. Someone with similar interests, goals, and concerns not too long ago.
So Alex started Campus Maven to connect prospective students with current university students who just went through the process themselves, creating private, personalized tours that go beyond what any official campus visit could offer.
In our conversation, we discussed:
- How to best approach the college tour process
- How college tours help multiple aspects of the admissions process
- How “real” official campus tours are
- How a tour with Campus Maven gives a different perspective
- And much more…

When families begin the scholarship journey, many parents assume there are only two options:
Top of Form
Bottom of Form
Either parents take over the process completely, or they step back and let students handle everything on their own.
Neither approach works very well.
The most successful scholarship families usually find a healthier balance...
Student Loan Rates Drop!Last Monday, one of Scholarship GPS’s partner organizations, Juno, saw a significant rate drop for undergraduate loans on Juno’s platform. Juno leverages collective bargaining to negotiate lower student loans. After receiving input from families, they shared feedback with their partner lenders who then lowered rates compared to previous weeks. For many people who need to borrow for college, rates may now be lower.
If you’ve completed a rate check before, it is worthwhile to do it again. We don’t know how long these rates will last, and are encouraging families to lock in a rate now. After completing a rate check, if you submit a full application and are approved, your rates are generally locked for 30 days. You can check your rates by clicking here.

In late February, I woke up in the middle of the night and checked my email.
There was a message from Carter telling me that she had been awarded a full-tuition scholarship!
That incredible accomplishment was not luck. It was the result of many months, even years, of focused effort to achieve this goal.
Carter and her mom, Tiffany, were kind enough to talk about their scholarship journey, offering insight and tips based on their experience.
In our interview, we discussed:
- What motivated them to start applying for scholarships in the first place
- The role that parents can play in the scholarship process
- How they stayed motivated through some tough scholarship losses
- The importance of a compelling Personal Narrative for scholarship success
- What it was like to work with me, Dave the Scholarship Coach

Multiple surveys indicate that people with student loan debt regret taking out the loans.
A 2026 ScholarshipOwl survey of over 12,000 students found that 71% of those who already hold debt regret the decision, with concerns centered on unaffordable monthly payments and economic uncertainty.
A 2022 Givling survey reported that 63% of borrowers regret taking out student loans.
A 2024 Ramsey Solutions study found that 53% of student loan borrowers regret going into debt.
Other polls show varying levels of regret, with NerdWallet (2024) reporting that 36% regret the amount borrowed, and WalletHub noting that 61% of college students regret how much they borrowed.
If you are reading this, then I likely don’t need to convince you that avoiding student loans is preferable. But there is another regret that many families tell me they have, even families who have avoided crippling levels of student loan debt: They wish they had started the scholarship process earlier.
Next week, I’m sharing an interview with a mom and student who earned a full-tuition scholarship. Despite such success with scholarships, they even said that they wish they had started the scholarship process sooner.
Likewise, Victoria and her mom told me the same thing in an interview last year, even though she earned a full-tuition scholarship, as well as enough in outside scholarships to cover room and board.
I, too, feel the same way, even though my son earned 23 outside scholarships, and we paid only $1500 for his college degree, tuition, room, board, books, and fees included. I wish he had started applying for scholarships before his junior year of high school, as I am convinced he would have won even more scholarships.
Unfortunately, learning how to have success with scholarships tends to get put on the back burner, especially during the school year. And I get it. Students are busy. That is why summer offers one of the greatest opportunities to kick-start your student’s scholarship journey, and why I’m so excited to offer the Scholarship Summer Camp again this year!
The Scholarship Summer Camp is for high school students in the Classes of 2027, 2028, 2029, and 2030.
Your student will learn the skills required for scholarship success by applying for real scholarships, including a $35,000 scholarship capstone project!
But the Scholarship Summer Camp is designed in a way so that your student doesn’t have to give up their summer. Lessons and brief, yet impactful and actionable.
Every Monday through Thursday, a new, pre-recorded lesson will be released.
On Thursday evenings, we will be live (but recorded for future viewing), discussing the week’s lessons and taking Q&A.
Here’s the agenda:
Week 1: The Tools For Scholarship Success
Week 2: Your Personal Narrative
Week 3: Finding The Right Scholarships For You
Week 4: Why Do You Deserve To Win This Scholarship? (Apply for a Real Scholarship This Week!)
Week 5: Topical Scholarships (Apply for Another Real Scholarship This Week!)
Week 6: $35,000 Capstone Scholarship Project!
This year, I’m offering two different start dates for the Scholarship Summer Camp. Our first session begins on June 1st, and the second session begins on July 27th.
So, when school starts again in the fall, how do you want to look back on this summer? As a time of regret, wishing your student had learned the scholarship process, or as a time when their successful scholarship journey began?
To jumpstart your student’s scholarship journey, click here to learn more and register for the Scholarship Summer Camp today.
Of course, the goal is to graduate from college with zero student debt. So, before taking any student loans, make sure your student is applying for every scholarship for which they are eligible. Remember, students can apply for scholarships throughout their time in college. This free guide on earning scholarships while in college explains where to find scholarships, has best practices for applications, and more.
Beyond applying for as many scholarships as possible, complete the FAFSA each year. This may open grant and work-study options, as well as federal student loans. The federal student loans that the FAFSA opens for students usually have the best interest rates and terms, and do not need a cosigner. However, for the vast majority of students, the lifetime limit they can borrow is $31,000 ($5500 for year 1, $6500 for year 2, $7500 for years 3 and 4).
If more funds are needed, the private student loan market is one option for funding the student’s remaining balance. In most cases, parents/guardians will have to co-sign for these loans. There are several private student loan companies out there. My favorite, however, is Juno.
Juno is a group of more than 200,000 students and parents who work together to make lenders reduce the cost of student loans. You can join for free to access their deals and prepare for future payments. It takes less than a minute to join, and there is no fee or obligation.
To recap:
Step 1: Ensure your student is applying to as many scholarships as possible to reduce the cost of college.
Step 2: Complete the FAFSA to get access to federal student loans, as well as grants and work-study, if eligible.
Step 3: Compare the best rates and terms for additional student loans from various providers, including Juno.

For more than a decade, Lisa Marker-Robbins has helped over 4,000 teens and young adults gain the insight, experiences, and confidence they need to successfully embark on their graduation career path.
But along the way, she saw a troubling pattern: Too many young people were unsure of their direction—and it showed. They were overwhelmed by choices, confused about college majors, or pursuing paths that didn’t truly fit. Many were drifting into the future aimless, others graduating underemployed, or stalling out altogether.
Lisa knew there had to be a better way…
In our conversation, we discussed:
- The importance of defining the correct “finish line” for your student
- Why your student’s school is likely measuring the wrong “finish line”
- Outsourcing your students’ development in the wrong way
- Why “we’ll figure it out later” closes doors, adds stress, and costs more
- How to guide your student without putting pressure on them
- And much more…

In the last 45 days, I have had multiple Scholarship GPS students earn full-tuition and other large scholarships.
But the road to those students' scholarship success started many months before.
These students learned what scholarships are looking for in applicants.
They practiced their scholarship skills by applying for several scholarships.
They made scholarships a priority and learned how to improve their applications entry by entry.
And, many of those students started by participating in last year's Scholarship Summer Camp.
Now, I know summer seems like a long way off - but can you it’s already April? Summer will be here before you know it!
Summer is the perfect time for students to learn the scholarship process.
With no school and no homework, students have the time and mental space to devote a few minutes per day to learn the secrets to scholarship success.

By participating in the Scholarship Summer Camp, your student will learn the skills required for scholarship success by applying for real scholarships, including a $35,000 scholarship capstone project!

Students who graduate college debt-free don't rely on just one source of scholarships or financial aid. They layer their scholarship sources, one on top of the other.
Shellee helped her son receive multiple full scholarships.
I helped my son earn 23 outside scholarships, allowing us to pay only $1500 for his college degree - tuition, room, board, books, and fees included.

I recently spoke with Shellee Howard of College Ready.
After helping her son get into Harvard and after he received multiple full scholarships, Shelle went back to school to get her College Consulting degree. She worked as an independent College Consultant for two years before founding College Ready.
Shelle has been featured on FOX, CBS, and NBC. In addition, College Ready has been the topic of many press releases in several newspapers and magazines for the large merit scholarships their students continue to receive.

In our conversation, we discussed:
- The tactics and plans that parents can use to set up their student for a debt-free college degree, and the best timing for these plans.
- The need for students to pick the right colleges to apply to.
- The $100,000 cost of not picking the right college.
- How the activities students do today help with scholarships, college admissions, and even “adulting.”
- The scholarship strategy that can unlock college options.
- The hidden costs of college.
- The scholarship myths that will cost you money if you believe them.

I recently spoke with Jennifer Gershberg, a campus and keynote speaker and former University of Maryland professor. Through her campus programs, keynotes, trainings, and online courses, she helps prospective and current college students build confidence and competence by teaching them the fundamental skills they need for academic and professional success. While on the faculty at the University of Maryland, Jennifer won numerous teaching awards, including the highly coveted Allen J. Krowe Award for Teaching Excellence. She has been a featured guest on multiple podcasts, including Real Housewives of New Jersey Margaret Josephs’ “Caviar Dreams, Tuna Fish Budget.” Jennifer attended Cornell University and the George Washington University Law School.
Jennifer’s speaking career is a product of her deep concern for and commitment to student wellbeing. As a professor, she observed a continuous decline in student competencies and mental health following the pandemic and felt compelled to broaden her impact, leading her to this work. Jennifer is known for her natural ease and connection with students, relatability, genuine investment in student success, and being “nurturing but tough -- exactly what students need.” (source: a student)
In our conversation, we discussed:
- How students build confidence and reduce anxiety
- Some of the academic challenges she noticed college students commonly face
- Advice for students who need to ask for letters of recommendation
- Advice for parents to help their children launch into college successfully
To connect with Jennifer, go to jgtalks.org.
Good News & Bad NewsThe bad news: Let’s be honest—the transition to college comes with challenges. As March arrives, many students and parents are feeling the pinch of college costs.

Now, here’s the good news: I’ve partnered with former college professor Jennifer Gershberg to help you turn these hurdles into opportunities for success. Jennifer is passionate about equipping students with essential skills—from time management to building strong relationships with professors—that set them up for college and beyond.
Her “Welcome to College! Bootcamp for Incoming Students” is specifically designed to prepare incoming students for the demands of college life, making the transition smoother and more confident.

Lisa Rouff, PhD, is a clinical psychologist and independent educational consultant with more than thirty years of experience helping teens and families navigate major life transitions with clarity and confidence. She co-founded The College Admissions Collective, where she guides students—especially those with ADHD, anxiety, learning differences, and perfectionism—through a calmer, more structured approach to college planning.
Lynda Doepker is an independent educational consultant who helps students chart confident, authentic paths to college, whether they’re applying to selective universities, regional options, or navigating the process as first-generation applicants. A first-gen college graduate herself, she brings a commitment to accessibility and years of experience supporting high-achieving, under-resourced, and rural students.
In our conversation, Lisa, Lynda, and I discussed:
- What the “prestige trap” is and how it affects families financially and emotionally
- How not chasing prestige improves college financial options
- Process goals and how those apply specifically to paying for college
- Why calm, informed planning is actually a college financial strategy
- What a “successful” admissions process looks like when affordability is a
priority * And much more…

Whitney Crowell of Launchpad Consulting. As a mom, Whitney was chief cook and bottle-washer, which was hard. But as a homeschooling mom, she was also a guidance counselor, which was a million times harder. During the 10
years she spent steering her oldest along the path to college and career — with a full ride, no less! — she conducted hundreds of hours of research.
And somewhere along the line, people started to ask Whitney for advice. It seemed that in her quest to give her kids my best, she’d unwittingly gained a reputation as something of an expert on how to launch your teen.
In our conversation, Whitney and I discussed:
- College admissions for “average families with average teens.”
- The college admissions misconceptions that families in the middle need to let go of.
- Some lesser-known strategies families can use to cut the time and cost of college without sacrificing quality.
- The challenges that homeschool families face in the college application process.
- And much more…

You can also follow Whitney on Substack at YourGuidanceCounselor.Substack.com.
Whitney recommends Corsava as a way to get the ball rolling for college conversations with your teen.

I recently spoke with Katie Azevedo of School Habits. Having taught in both public and private school systems, Katie has seen firsthand how our students are expected to learn, but they are rarely given the tools or strategies to do so.
Since 2006, she has personally coached thousands of students, one-on-one, on standardized tests (SAT/ACT, SSAT, GRE), application essays, study skills, executive functions, and writing and reading instruction.
Katie works with students in grade 6 through graduate school, as well as adults looking to further their work productivity habits.
In our conversation, Katie explains what studying IS and what studying IS NOT. She provides ideas to help students improve their study habits and also discusses how studying in college often differs from the study skills that may have worked in high school. Katie also talks about some of the systems that students need in place to support their study habits. And Katie even tells us about the most overlooked skill that students need for success - and that skill may surprise you!
You can access her free training, How to Help Your Student Handle School Like a Pro Without Study Frustration, Assignment Overwhelm, or All the Drama, here: https://www.schoolhabitsuniversity.com/freetraining
Finally, please check out Katie’s fantastic podcast, Learn and Work Smarter.

I recently spoke with Sam Bernstein, co-founder of Loper, a free mobile app designed to help students explore and discover their best educational opportunities after high school. The inspiration for Loper came out of the pandemic, where “life on pause” led to two college friends (Sam and his co-founder Eric) spending long nights discussing their shared passion: education. Fast forward two years and they quit their jobs to launch Loper, which has now helped nearly 200,000 students find best-fit opportunities after high school.
Since founding Loper Sam has spoken at nearly a dozen industry conferences, and he always loves the opportunity to present to both students and parents on college and career readiness. Sam lives in Chicago, loves to bike, and (so far) has kept up with his 2025 resolution to read more fiction.
In our conversation, Sam and I discussed:
- How students can use the Loper app to discover their best fit college
- How parents can use the app to help their student better manage the college planning process
- How counselors can use Loper to help their students with the college process
- And much more…
To learn more about Loper, go to getloper.com or download the app for free.

I recently spoke with Luanne Lee, Owner of Your College Planning Coach.
Luanne wanted to do something where she could make an impact to help families and feel good about what she did every day, so she began her career in Financial Services in 1996.
Luanne decided to focus on the specialty of College Planning and Funding when she saw how student loan debt was hampering so many parents and students from reaching their retirement goals. Little did she know at the time just how specialized college planning was!
Luanne has undergone extensive licensing and training as a College Financial Planning Specialist and for the past 15+ years has devoted her practice to providing financial education and efficient solutions to families maneuvering through the complex process of planning and funding for college without jeopardizing their retirement goals.
In our conversation, Luanne and I discuss:
- Whether in-state college is always the least expensive option
- Whether you can rely on your guidance counselor through the college admissions process
- Whether families should “go it alone” through the college planning process
- Why parents are usually on the hook for their kids student loans
- Why families who “make too much money” should still fill out the FAFSA
- Whether saving for college will hurt the student’s ability to get financial aid
- The importance of outside scholarships in paying for college
- Whether AP Courses will cut the cost of college by letting the student graduate earlier
- And much more…
To connect with Luanne and learn more about how she works with students and families, go to ycpcoach.com.

I recently spoke with Reid Meyer of A2A Academy and the Student-Athlete Advisors.
Reid always knew that sports would be a significant part of his life. Growing up, he dreamed of playing college sports, and he vividly recalls feeling anxious about second-guessing every decision he made in high school regarding his college opportunities.
After attending four schools in four years and ultimately giving up the sport he loved after just two, Reid realized there had to be a better way to support student-athletes and their families. Following years of schooling, training, and feedback, the A2A Academy emerged as the premier program to assist student-athletes and their families as they navigate one of the most critical decisions of their lives to date.
In our conversation, Reid and I discussed:
- The expectations, based on statistics, that students and families should have about playing Division 1 sports
- The need to find the right fit college for student-athletes
- Why tenacity is needed when it comes to getting noticed by colleges and coaches
- Funding opportunities for student-athletes at Division 3 colleges
- And much more

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.
Scholarships are not just for college-bound students.
Many scholarships can be used for trade and technical schools, and some even pay cash with no requirements for how the funds are used.
Having success with scholarships requires a plan, and that’s what Scholarship GPS provides.

For over a decade, Lisa Marker-Robbins has helped roughly 4000 high school students and young adults gain the insight, experiences, and confidence they need to embark on their post-high school path.
Along the way, however, she noticed an alarming trend: Teens struggled to find their true purpose–and the fallout wasn’t pretty. There was a lot of uncertainty around college majors and future careers. As a result, students weren’t graduating college on time, and even when they did, they often left college underemployed or unemployed altogether.
Gaining college and career clarity not only sets up the student to thrive in college and puts them on the path to future career success, but it’s also beneficial for finding and winning scholarships. More than half of the private scholarships my son won, both in high school and while in college, were directly related to his college major. The other scholarships, while open to students of all majors, were still won due to his compelling Personal Narrative - his story of his plans, with the ability to point to past achievements related to those plans.
Whether your child is in high school or college, if they need clarification about their future career or even their college major, I can think of no better investment than the programs that Lisa and Flourish Coaching offer.

For over a decade, Lisa Marker-Robbins has helped nearly 4,000 high school students and young adults gain the insight, experiences, and confidence they need to embark on their post-high school path.
Along the way, however, she noticed an alarming trend: Teens struggled to find their true purpose - devastatingly impacting the student’s college admissions and scholarship success.
In our conversation, Lisa shared:
- Why strong GPAs and high test scores may not be enough to gain admittance to your student’s dream college.
- Why “knowing where you want to go” is critical for college admissions and scholarships.
- Why your teen is NOT too young to get clarity on their future college major and career, and how most of the world is better preparing teens for career clarity.
- The role of college major clarity in college admissions, based on actual data from the colleges.
- Why high self-awareness is critical for a student’s future success with college admissions and scholarships.
Lisa has a complimentary video on “How to guide your teen to choose the right major, college, & career” that she created for parents (and students), and she’s given me permission to share this with my audience! In this, she’ll cover:
- How flipping the script on the college admissions process can help ensure an on-time (and on budget!) graduation and a career your teen will love.
- How to know beyond any doubt that your teen has chosen the right college, major, and career path, and hasn’t based their decision on luck, picked the “safe” option, or inadvertently restricted their potential.
- How to ensure your teen’s senior year choices don't trap them in an unsuitable major or close the door on an opportunity no amount of money or persuasion can open.

- “Go To Class: How to Succeed at College” by Karen Dentler - the perfect gift book for your college-bound teen. Available on Amazon.
I recommend waiting until your student has committed to a college before buying most of their dorm needs so you know exactly what the school allows and recommends. However, a few items are universally needed, no matter which college, dorm, or apartment your student ends up in. Here are a few of those items:
Dorms are notoriously dusty, moldy, and full of germs. A good air purifier is a great investment to help your student stay healthy at college.
Speaking of dirty, keep your kid’s feet clean with a pair of shower shoes.
It seems that no college student can survive these days without carrying their Stanley filled with their favorite beverage.
And, to keep their devices charged on the go, don’t forget a portable charger.

In last week’s episode, I shared my interview with Lisa Marker-Robbins, who has helped nearly 4,000 high school students and young adults gain the insight, experiences, and confidence they need to embark on their post-high school path.
In that conversation, we discussed why strong GPAs and high test scores may not be enough for your student to gain admittance to their dream college. Today, Lisa was kind enough to let me share an episode of her College and Career Clarity Podcast.
At many schools, like the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, prospective students must apply to a specific major when applying to college during the high school senior year. Since this is not standard at all colleges, it can be a confusing hurdle for many high schoolers and their families – but it doesn’t have to be. What does this mean for your teen? In this episode of the College and Career Clarity Podcast, Lisa Marker-Robbins speaks with Andy Borst, UIUC’s Director of Undergraduate Admissions, you’ll learn how college major-based admissions works and how to set your teen up to successfully navigate the process.
Although it can sometimes seem like it, admissions officers aren’t in the business of crushing your teen’s dreams. In fact, they want to make things possible for as many students as they can, and that’s where a college major-based admissions process can come into play. Each university can only accommodate a certain number of students in each program, so this type of application can help admissions staff focus on the students that are truly interested in the major and most likely to thrive.
When it comes to schools that admit by major, you might be surprised to learn that certain majors at these schools might be restricted to your student applying only as a 12th grader. For instance, if your child wants to study Computer Science at UIUC, they can only be admitted as a freshman or a transfer from another school. This means it’s crucial that your student does the work in high school to identify a college major that aligns to their wiring.
Andy warns not to try to take a shortcut into these highly competitive majors by applying for a different major in the hopes of transferring into your student’s desired field later. Trying to game the system isn’t wise. In these cases, your teen will be better off attending a different university where they have an assured start in their top choice major.
Highlights * What is college admission by major * What majors are among the most popular and therefore most competitive * How do restricted majors eliminate options for many high school students * When can your teen choose a second college major * Question to ask colleges about admission by major
Lisa has a complimentary video on “How to guide your teen to choose the right major, college, & career” that she created for parents (and students), and she’s given me permission to invite my people! In this, she’ll cover:
- How flipping the script on the college admissions process can help ensure an on-time (and on budget!) graduation and a career your teen will love.
- How to know beyond any doubt that your teen has chosen the right college, major, and career path, and hasn’t based their decision on luck, picked the “safe” option, or inadvertently restricted their potential.
- How to ensure your teen’s senior year choices don't trap them in an unsuitable major or close the door on an opportunity no amount of money or persuasion can open.

In a recent interview, the mom of a $111,000 scholarship winner said that college major and career clarity are ‘essential’ for success with scholarships!That is why I am offering several special bonuses for families who sign up for Lisa’s Launch Career Clarity Program. Those bonuses are:

You’ll also get my lesson on answering the common scholarship essay prompt, “Why Do You Deserve To Win This Scholarship?”
- Two live 45-minute one-on-one Q&A sessions with me to discuss anything about scholarships. I’ve never before offered this type of one-on-one scholarship help outside of my premier services.
- Personalized one-on-one help with one Personal Narrative scholarship essay of your choice.

For over a decade, Lisa Marker-Robbins has helped nearly 4,000 high school students and young adults gain the insight, experiences, and confidence they need to embark on their post-high school path.
Along the way, however, she noticed an alarming trend: Teens struggled to find their true purpose - devastatingly impacting the student’s college admissions and scholarship success.
In our conversation, Lisa shared:
- Why strong GPAs and high test scores may not be enough to gain admittance to your student’s dream college.
- Why “knowing where you want to go” is critical for college admissions and scholarships.
- Why your teen is NOT too young to get clarity on their future college major and career, and how most of the world is better preparing teens for career clarity.
- The role of college major clarity in college admissions, based on actual data from the colleges.
- Why high self-awareness is critical for a student’s future success with college admissions and scholarships.
Lisa has a complimentary video on “How to guide your teen to choose the right major, college, & career” that she created for parents (and students), and she’s given me permission to share this with my audience! In this, she’ll cover:

Katia Hua has dedicated her career to the field of education, working in various roles that have equipped her with the knowledge and expertise needed for education consulting. Throughout her professional journey, she has come to recognize the importance of not only guiding students through the college admissions process but also helping them discover their aspirations for the future. That's the major reason why she founded BosonEd.
I recently spoke with Katia about how high school juniors (Class of 2026) should start their college planning now (if they haven’t already). We also discussed some ways that younger students can begin preparing for college, as well.
In our conversation, Katia shared:
- The timeline for standardized tests
- Why she recommends students NOT take the SAT or ACT more than three times
- How a student’s passions, perspectives, and achievements with extracurriculars affect college admissions
- How high school freshmen, sophomores, and juniors should approach participating in extracurricular activities to build an application theme
- A timeline for requesting letters of recommendation
- A timeline for college visits and how to get the most out of them
You can connect with Katia by visiting BosonEd.org.
Also, be sure to read the article Katia referenced in our discussion, “【Case study】What kind of student got into Princeton?'"
Class of 2026:
As Katia said in our discussion, high school juniors need to begin their college planning process right now. That includes planning how to pay for college, including scholarships.
Did you know a FULL RIDE scholarship is open for high school juniors right now?
Did you know that a different scholarship covering full tuition for any college in the country will be opening for juniors this spring?
These are just two of the many scholarship opportunities open to high school juniors.
My son won his first scholarship as a high school junior.
In the Scholarship GPS Course, you will find an interview with a high school junior who won a $35,000 scholarship!
So, while you need to start the college planning that Katia talked about, high school juniors also need to begin the scholarship process.
If you have a high school junior and would like to schedule a FREE consultation to learn about scholarships for high school juniors, drop me an email at Dave@NoDebtCollege.com

A graduate of Davidson College and Converse College, she spent several years as a middle school English teacher before working in professional development. She is certified by The Protocol School of Washington as an Intercultural Protocol and Etiquette Trainer as well as a Protocol Officer. Most recently, she was the head of Global Training and Development at AMECO, a former subsidiary of Fluor Corporation.

In her spare time, she reads mystery novels (but only those that won't keep her up all night), works out when the spirit moves her, and hangs out with her family. Her current book obsession is Louise Penny's Armand Gamache series.

- And much more

Irene Schindler is a published essayist. She helps college applicants identify compelling ideas for their admissions essays and present those ideas in a student’s own best voice.

She holds degrees in communications and government from George Washington University and worked in communications and policy on Capitol Hill for many years prior to joining College Bound.
In our conversation, Irene and I discussed:

- How students can stand out with their college admissions essay
- Strategies for students struggling with their college essay
- Essay ideas for students who aren’t sure of their college major

Irene mentioned the Fiske Guide to Colleges as a fantastic resource to help you find the right college. Here’s a link to buy the Fiske Guide on Amazon: https://amzn.to/3yTuSww
Every year, I see the same thing: high school seniors who find every reason not to apply for scholarships. Here is what one mom said in an online forum when asked what she wishes she had done differently during her child’s senior year:
"I wish I had pushed my HS senior to commit to applying for scholarships. Later in her senior year, she found all kinds of ways to avoid putting in the effort."- Mom of Class of 2024 Grad.
If your student is in the Class of 2025, they must start applying for scholarships immediately. Otherwise, here’s the list of “reasons” that they won’t be able to start later:
September: “School just started. I need to adjust to my new schedule before working on scholarships.”
October: “I need to work on my college applications and essays before working on scholarships.”
November: “It’s Thanksgiving! Don’t I deserve a break?!”
December: “I need to fill out the FAFSA before working on scholarships.”
January: “I need to adjust to my new spring class schedule before working on scholarships.”
February: “I need to get my college acceptance before I start working on scholarships.”
March: “My spring sport takes too much time to work on scholarships.”
April: “I need to do all the graduation prep before I work on scholarships.”
May: “Prom prep is taking up all of my free time. I can’t work on scholarships.”
June: “All of the good scholarships are closed.”
Your student’s list of “reasons” will vary, but you get the point: Students can always find a “reason” that they can’t apply for scholarships.
However, it's important to remember that the earlier they start, the more opportunities they will have. So, let's not let these “reasons” hold us back. Let's start applying for scholarships now and make the most of the opportunities available.
The hardest part of scholarships is getting started. But, Class of 2025 students who start now will not only get over this hump but also enjoy these benefits:
- They will build a portfolio of scholarship essays that they can reuse for many more scholarship applications throughout their senior year.
- They will have the experience and skills needed to be better scholarship applicants in the spring when their local scholarship opportunities (usually) open up.
- They could win one of the $20,000, $30,000, $50,000, or other high-dollar scholarships open to seniors this fall!
It's crucial to understand the urgency of the situation. Did you know that the Class of 2025 has already missed a FULL TUITION and a FULL RIDE scholarship opportunity? Every day a student delays is another lost scholarship opportunity.
Perhaps you and your student are willing to start, but you aren’t sure how. The Scholarship GPS Course will get you and your student up to speed quickly. Here are just some of the highlights from the course:
- How and where to find scholarships
- How to prioritize the right scholarships
- How to build a student’s Personal Narrative: The Key to Scholarship Success
- How to respond to the most common scholarship essay topics
Plus, throughout the fall, I will be adding lessons on some of the biggest scholarship opportunities for the Class of 2025 - scholarships that virtually every senior should apply for!
The tools, tactics and strategies I share in the Scholarship GPS Course are the same ones I used to coach my own son to over $95,000 in scholarships, to coach Isabella to 14 scholarship wins, and to coach Talon to over $100,000 in scholarships!

Mike is the founder of Chariot Learning, which delivers on the promise of what truly transformative, individualized education can and should be. Mike is also the founding President of the Board of Directors of the National Test Prep Association, the creator of the TestBright SAT & ACT curriculum system and Roots2Words vocabulary program, and the co-host of the college admissions industry podcast Tests and the Rest.

I am a strong advocate for the work of Lisa Marker-Robbins and Flourish Coaching. For over a decade, Lisa has helped over 3,600 high school students and young adults gain the insight, experiences, and confidence they need to embark on their post-high school path.
Along the way, however, she noticed an alarming trend: Teens struggled to find their true purpose–and the fallout wasn’t pretty. There was a lot of uncertainty around college majors and future careers. As a result, students weren’t graduating college on time, and even when they did, they often left college underemployed or unemployed altogether.
From my perspective, gaining college and career clarity not only sets up the student to thrive in college and puts them on the path to future career success, but it’s also beneficial for finding and winning scholarships. More than half of the private scholarships my son won, both in high school and while in college, were directly related to his college major. The other scholarships, while open to students of all majors, were still won due to his compelling Personal Narrative - his story of his future plans, with the ability to point to past achievements related to those plans.
Whether your child is in high school or college, if they are unclear about their future career or even their college major, I can think of no better investment than to look into the programs that Lisa and Flourish Coaching offer. To learn more, go to http://www.FlourishCoachingCo.com/NoDebtMajors

This week I'm joined by Donna Vitek, a State of Florida certified teacher with a Master’s in History Education. She enjoys teaching and challenging students to think outside the box. As a parent and home educator, she saw the need for the social sciences to be taught in a way that interests kids. She also saw a need for personalized History and Civics education.
In our conversation, Donna shares:
- How ‘Social Studies’ is defined, and what subjects that includes.
- Ideas for how to get students more interested in Social Studies.
- Why students need to learn Social Studies, regardless of their career focus.
- What careers are open to students who study Social Studies.

This week I am joined by Alex McKercher. Alex is the Founder of Career Pursuit. His vision is to see Millennials and Gen Z find purpose and financial prosperity through rewarding careers, ultimately enabling them to lead fulfilling lives and make a meaningful impact on the world. Career Pursuit does this by equipping its clients with the knowledge, skills, and confidence they need to navigate today's job market successfully, leading to a rewarding career.
In our conversation, Alex shares his views on:
- The overall job outlook for current students and recent grads.
- How job applicants need to present themselves to land a job (which also works for scholarships, as well!).
- The careers and college majors that will be in demand over the next 5-10 years.
- Why going to college to “find your passion” is no longer practical.
To connect with this week's guest, Alex McKercher from Career Pursuit, go to CareerPursuit.net or on LinkedIn.
Alex stressed the importance of knowing your passion and career path. If your student is unsure of their path, check out the fantastic programs offered by Flourish Coaching. Having college major and career clarity will not only help with college admissions and future job prospects, but it’s also a key part of scholarship success. Go to FlourishCoachinCo.com/NoDebtMajors to learn more.

Danny Kofke worked as a school teacher for 18 years; he has written several personal finance books, including A Bright Financial Future: Teaching Kids about Money Pre-K Through College for Lifelong Success. Danny has appeared on numerous national television shows, including Fox & Friends, CNN's Newsroom, The 700 Club, and MSNBC Live. Danny has been interviewed on over 600 radio shows and featured in publications such as The Wall Street Journal, Huff Post, and Money Magazine. Danny is one of my colleagues at Mentoro, where he serves as a Motivational Mentor.
In our conversation, Danny shares his views on:
- How to lead young people to be better money managers and achieve financial success, and how social media can make that harder.
- How to help young people understand the value of work, budgeting, and long-term goals, and how your actions as a parent speak louder than words.
- Whether teens can truly understand the impact of student loans and how to have conversations about debt.
- Whether teens and college students should have credit cards.
- And much more…
To connect with Danny, go to MyMentoro.com and check out Danny’s podcast, Run With The Bulls.
Danny mentioned that, unlike when he and I were in college, students today need to be much more clear about their major and future career plans, and at a much younger age. If your student is unsure of their path, check out the fantastic programs offered by Flourish Coaching. Having college major and career clarity will not only help with college admissions, but it’s a key part of scholarship success. Go to FlourishCoachingCo.com/NoDebtMajors to learn more.

Over $100,000! That’s how much one of my Class of 2024 Scholarship Coaching students has won (so far!). In the latest edition of Your Daily Scholarship, Talon, and his mom, Audria, share their incredible scholarship journey.
Listening to Talon and Audria will help you understand why the common advice to ignore private scholarships is a terrible idea and why private scholarships aren’t just for the “best of the best.” They also explain how critical a student’s Personal Narrative is for scholarship success, as well as their experience working with me. And they share how scholarships have given them a freedom that they otherwise wouldn’t have had. So, listen and be inspired by this $100,000+ scholarship winner and his mom!

"I'm so thankful I stumbled across you, Dave, and decided to reach out for your free consultation. Your willingness to create a plan that fit our needs was a tremendous help. As we've worked together through this past year, the personal touch, quick responses, and thoughtful advice you've given for and beyond scholarship applications have been invaluable. My son and I personally recommend anyone going through the college process to seek your help. It has been a relief and given us peace to have you on our side while we navigate this journey." - Audria

Congratulations to the Class of 2024, both the students and parents and guardians! Your hard work has paid off, and now you’re on to the next chapter of your life. Here are some gift ideas to help you recognize the graduate in your life.
Gift CardsOne of the most practical gifts you can give a grad is a gift card, especially these fun graduation-themed gift cards from Amazon. No matter how well students and parents plan for college and dorm life, they will always find something that they forgot to bring to college. An Amazon gift card makes it quick and easy to make those last-minute purchases. And, if you combine this with an Amazon Prime Student Membership, your student will get even more great benefits!Pro Tip: Order your dorm and college essentials, like bedding, shower caddies, laundry bags, and a first aid kit on Amazon and have them shipped directly to college, rather than lugging them to campus yourself.
Go to Class!The gift book, Go to Class: How to Succeed at College by Karen Dentler gives practical advice for succeeding in college. Written by an expert with over 20 years in higher education, these bite-sized bits of advice will ensure that your grad thrives in college and beyond!Commemorate Their AchievementsWhether it’s a custom diploma frame, a grad cap shadow box, a senior year photo frame, a varsity letter frame, or some other personalized gift to celebrate your grad’s achievements, Church Hill Classics has what you’re looking for. Plus, my readers can take $15 off $100+ orders by using promo code Dave15 at checkout!I ordered a diploma frame for my son, who is graduating college this year, and we couldn’t be happier with how they turned out!

I’m thrilled to share that a SPECIAL enrollment is now open for Lisa Marker-Robbins’ signature program, Launch Career Clarity. This incredible program is based on Lisa's work with over 3,700 individuals and has been meticulously designed to help your teen navigate college major and career selection with confidence and clarity.
Why Launch Career Clarity?
Forbes has cited Lisa’s framework as a crucial step to increasing the return on your college investment, which is sure to be significant.
Here’s what Kristy Miller had to say about her son’s transformation:
“I was overwhelmed because my son had a casual attitude and no direction. The Launch course resources and Lisa’s encouragement re-focused him. He’s still casual but with a confirmed & confident direction. Our stress going into senior year was far less.”
The Launch course provides everything you need to develop a strategic plan that will help your child find success and happiness.
If you’ve been waiting for the right time to invest in your teen’s future, this is it!
During Launch Career Clarity, your teen will:
- Go from feeling overwhelmed and confused to motivated and clear.
- Gain the confidence to make informed decisions about their future college major and career.
- Be ready to launch into adulthood without moving back home.
Is Launch Career Clarity Right for You?
Only consider enrolling if you can check off at least 3 of the following:
✔️You don’t know what to do first (or last) on the college-bound journey.
✔️You’re worried that not knowing how to support your child will limit their opportunities.
✔️Your child seems unmotivated when planning for the future.
✔️You’re preparing to invest substantially in college and want to maximize that investment.
✔️You want your child to be happy and thrive as they launch into adulthood.
✔️You suspect your student might listen to someone else more than you on this topic.
✔️You’re tired of leaving things to chance and want proven tools that get results.
If 3 or more of these resonate with you, check out the details and enroll today:
What’s SPECIAL about this enrollment period?
As a special bonus, if you purchase the Launch Career Clarity course during this limited-time offer, you'll get 3 years of access to their exclusive LIVE 'Why This Major' College Essay Workshop.
By enrolling in Launch Career Clarity, you’re giving your teen the resources they need to know themselves and their future careers well enough to make informed, confident decisions. Graduation is approaching, and now is the time to gain the clarity thousands of other families have achieved.

Today's episode is brought to you by Velocity ACT. Slay the ACT ogre with Velocity ACT.
I recently spoke with Tim Hall of Velocity ACT. Tim is a teacher/tutor with almost twenty years of experience both in standardized test prep (SAT/ACT) and in classroom instruction.
Tim's tenure as test prep teacher at Bishop Dunne Catholic School saw a 150-point increase in average school-wide SAT scores and a 4-point average increase in ACT scores—and things have only gotten better from there: with a tutoring company in his hometown of Dallas, Tim has seen an average improvement of 200 points and 6 points on those tests. There is no substitute for experience.
In our conversation, Tim shares:
- The single most important factor in determining whether the SAT or the ACT is the right test for you.
-
Four strategies for tackling the ACT, including:
- Timing and pacing
- How to “own the test”
- Setting goals for improvement
- Using the process of elimination
-
Advice for each section of the ACT, including:
-
Four guiding questions students should ask themselves for the English Section
- The single most important criteria for selecting an answer in the Reading Section
- Understanding how the Math Section is laid out, and how that can guide your answer choice

I recently spoke with Danny Kofke about planning and saving for college.
After being an elementary school teacher for 18 years, Danny recently left the classroom to work with Mentoro - a financial education company. His love of teaching and personal finance led him to write five personal finance books including The Wealthy Teacher: Lessons For Prospering On A School Teacher’s Salary.
Danny’s everyday approach to handling money has led him to appear on numerous television shows, including Fox & Friends, The CBS Early Show, CNN’s Newsroom, The 700 Club, and The Clark Howard Show. He has also been interviewed on over 600 radio shows and featured in a number of publications, including USA Today, Yahoo.com, The Wall Street Journal, Money Magazine, and The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. He wants to show others if this former school teacher can do well financially, they can too!
In our conversation, Danny discusses:
- The pitfalls of saving for our kid’s college but not our own retirement
- Ideas for parents who have not saved for their kid’s college

I recently spoke with Ingrid Moats, Founder of Tampa Bay Test Prep.
Ingrid worked as a math teacher in the public school system for over 10 years. She started Tampa Bay Test Prep as a way to help students who were just one test away from getting their high school diploma.
She soon realized that students at all levels, including honors students, had gaps in their math understanding and to help students excel in math they needed to build up their foundations and strengthen their problem-solving skills.
Now she and her team of dedicated online teachers help students from first to twelfth grade.
Ingrid shares ideas for how you can help your student take their math skills to the next level, including some fun things your student can do over the summer!
Contact Ingrid at support@tampabaytestprep.com. Be sure to let Ingrid know you heard her on Your Daily Scholarship!

I recently spoke with Dan Cieniewicz, aka “The College Dude.” Dan works with parents of teenage children as they find themselves in position to strategize to pay for college while also staying on track for retirement. Dan’s goal when working with clients is to explain the complexities of the financial aid & college application process and to strategize to make sure that both parents and children are set up for long term success.
In our conversation, Dan explains:
- 529 Plans, including a very important recent change to how the funds in a 529 may be used.
- How to start financially planning for college if you have young kids, and what to do if you have kids on the verge of college and you haven’t been saving.
- Whether you should prioritize saving for retirement or saving for college.
- How to budget for college, and how to determine which college(s) you can afford.

I recently spoke with Mike Bergin, Founder of Chariot Learning, who has over 28 years of intensive experience in every aspect of standardized test preparation. Mike is an engaging and passionate professional, and today he shares his expertise about preparing for SAT & ACT tests, including:
- How and when to prepare for the SAT & ACT tests
- How test success mirrors success in every endeavor, including sports
- Whether a student with a 1560 SAT score should try to get a 1600
- What “Test Optional” means for college admissions
To connect with Mike, go to chariotlearning.com, and be sure to check out Mike’s outstandingly informative podcast, Tests and the Rest.
Just like you need to prepare for your SATs, you also need to prepare if you want to win scholarships. The Scholarship Summer Camp teaches students the same strategies and methods I used to coach my son to over $90,000 in scholarships (and counting).

Scholarship Summer Camp: https://nodebtcollege.teachable.com/p/scholarship-summer-camp
The Scholarship Summer Camp is designed for high school students, from freshmen to seniors (Classes of 2024, 2025, 2026, and 2027), so that they have the tools, strategies, and techniques to win multiple scholarships before graduation.
The 8-week Scholarship Summer Camp kicks off June 12th and runs through August 4th. However, your student will continue to have access to the Scholarship Summer Camp through the end of 2023, just in case they need a refresher on what they learned later in the year.
Students enrolled in any of my ongoing coaching programs will be automatically enrolled in the Scholarship Summer Camp as an added free bonus for their membership.
For everyone else, the Scholarship Summer Camp is just $97 for the entire 8-week program. However, there is a $50 earlybird discount for the first 50 students that sign up. That makes the program just $47! Use coupon code EARLYBIRD at checkout. To get started, click the link in the show notes of this episode, or visit NoDebtCollege.Teachable.com
Today we have a very special edition of Your Daily Scholarship. Brian and Shanna Tvenstrup are the parents of 4 children, all of whom either have, or are on track to graduate from college debt-free. The debt-free college path that Brian and Shanna laid out for their kids is very different than the one traveled by my family. However, I think it’s important to learn that there are many ways to earn a debt-free college degree, and my focus on using a combination of both private and institutional scholarships is just one way to reach that goal. I was also struck by the fact that, while the tools that Brian and Shanna used were different than the ones that I primarily discuss, their path still aligned with my 5 Pillars of a Winning Scholarship methodology. Brian and Shanna are impressive and delightful people, and I think their story is inspiring.

Brian O’Leary was kind enough to have me on his podcast to talk about scholarships and sending our kids to college debt-free. Brian has an amazing radio announcer’s voice and is a fantastic interviewer.
One of the things that Brian and I discuss is the importance of a secure email account used only for scholarships and college-related matters. I recommend ProtonMail for your secure email needs.
