Everybody recognizes that four or more years of college costs a lot of money, but few know exactly how much will be required or where they'll be finding that money. Even worse, far too few applicants realize how many scholarships are available to industrious students. Amy and Mike invited scholarship expert Dave Peterson to share 12 must-see scholarships. What are five things you will learn in this episode? What elements make a scholarship worth looking at? What makes replicability so valuable in the scholarship process? Which specific scholarships should all applicants consider? What connects all of these scholarships? What can future applicants do to prepare for scholarship success? MEET OUR GUEST Dave Peterson, The Scholarship Coach, is the father of a rising college junior who, to date, has won over $80,000 in scholarships. Because of his son's success with scholarships, people started asking him for advice on how their children could win scholarships. These questions prompted Dave to write the book DEBT-FREE COLLEGE: Proven Strategies for Winning Scholarships and Other Tools to Help You Avoid Student Loan Debt. Dave shares a new scholarship opportunity every day on his podcast and Substack called "Your Daily Scholarship." He provides one-on-one coaching for students and families to help them find and win scholarships to achieve their debt-free college dreams. Find Dave at [email protected].
