the scholarship crash course (june 2020)
SCHOLARSHIP TIMES HAVE CHANGED DUE TO COVID-19
With many colleges considering keeping student online in the fall, we could see some students and parents paying between $20K-$70K for Zoom classes.
Wouldn’t you like scholarships to cover that instead of coming out of pocket or student loans? If the answer is yes, keep reading.
If you’re here, maybe you’ve found yourself saying this…
“We don’t have the money to pay for college. Is it too late to win scholarships for the fall?
“We’ve lost our jobs due to COVID-19 and are trying to figure out how we’re going to afford everything.”
“We can’t find scholarships we qualify for! We’ve been looking online for months!”
“Our family makes too much money according to FAFSA, so we only qualified for student loans.”
“We haven’t been motivated or on top of the scholarship process with everything going on.”
“My son/daughter has applied for a few scholarships, but never heard anything back from the committee.”
“All of this is overwhelming and stressful. I feel like we’re behind and running out of time.”
If you answered YES again…
you know how hard this can be alone, but it doesn’t have to be.
“Using your best practices and advice, my daughter executed and earned a paid summer internship valued at $6,000.”
“So thank you Gabrielle for “lighting a fire under us” and giving me the information to help him in the right direction!!! I can’t tell you how many times I have recommended this program to people. Thank you again!!”
“Thank you! Claire just won a $1,000 artist development grant, and I was inspired to help her find two more scholarships written and submitted this week.”

You want to remove the “guesswork” by knowing exactly what you should be working on, instead of wasting time searching through numerous websites, submitting essays with no results or responses, and remaining confused as to what a scholarship committee really wants.

Step 2: The Pay-What-You-Can Family Scholarship

We understand that finances might be tight. So we’ve created a “Pay-What-You-Can”/COVID-19 Scholarship to cover your family’s enrollment. We only ask for a minimum price of $20.20 to cover a fraction of the expenses it takes to run a quality course for 5 weeks.
This course normally sells for over $147.00.

Having accurate scholarship information would’ve made it easier to go through the long and frustrating process of finding and applying for scholarships. I would’ve been completely overwhelmed during the pandemic without help.
Frequently Asked Questions
How likely is it that I’ll win a scholarship by going through the course?
By law, we nor any other scholarship service/company can guarantee that you/your student will win a scholarship.
However, we can ensure that you’re equipped with all of the information that our experts have acquired over the years to help thousands of students and parents.
Is it really “Pay-What-You-Can”?
Yes! I know the coronavirus has financially impacted a lot of our community. We are doing our part to provide services at, hopefully, an affordable price for your current situation.
In complete transparency, we ask for a minimum of $20.20 to cover a fraction of the expenses it takes to run a course as in-depth and hands-on as this is over an entire month. It actually costs less to take our course than renting most college textbooks for a semester.
What’s the difference between your free courses and the Crash Course?
Our free courses are “do-it-yourself,” which leaves room for a lot of mistakes if you’re not careful. The Crash Course is “done-with-you,” so you’ll be able to take action on what I’m teaching and receive advice to adjust your strategy whenever you get stuck.
Who is the Scholarship Crash Course for?
The Scholarship Crash Course is for any student and their parents looking to find and apply for scholarships over the summer. Whether you’re just getting started, have been applying with little to no results, or have already won scholarships – you’ll learn the strategies and tips I’m using during the pandemic.
Can you break down the content of the Crash Course a little more? What exactly will I learn?
Sure. You’ll learn my step-by-step strategies for finding quality scholarships and submitting competitive applications in a “COVID-19 world”. It’ll remove the guesswork by teaching you specifically what you need to focus on right now.
What if I can’t make it to the live classes on Tuesdays at 7:00 PM CST in June?
While we recommend participants attend live, you’ll receive a recording of each class. Plus, if you know you’re going to miss a week, you’ll be able to submit your question(s) ahead of time for me to answer during that week’s session.
Will my entire family really have access to the course?
Yep. We want to ensure everyone in your family is on the same page. We’re one of the only organizations that offers scholarship courses that allow this level of access.
This sounds too good to be true! What’s the catch?
I want to make it a no-brainer for you, but more importantly – I’m committed to your scholarship success.
Now is not the time to drop the ball by trying to do this on your own.
