How can scholarships play a role in defraying college costs?

How can families motivate their seniors to apply? (The motivation can seem like a monumental challenge!)

At this point, our high school seniors are “so over it!” They don’t want to write one more essay or fill out one more application. And yet, we need them to apply for private scholarships in order to save money. What’s a parent to do? How do you motivate them?

We get it. We’re parents, too. Sign your student up for our Virtual Scholarship Party. You bring the snacks, and we’ll bring the party.

We know:

1. 1. High school seniors have lost much of their motivation to tackle any more college tasks.
   2. Students have more fun when they can do things together.
   3. Getting started is half the battle.

We created this party to provide a way to get started–and have some fun doing it!

In this 90-minute interactive party, your student will learn the who, what, why, how, when, and where of scholarships. Scholarships aren’t just for straight “A” students or stellar athletes!

• • Get a solid understanding of the scholarship process.
  • Learn how to identify scholarships students qualify for based on things like college, major, qualifications, and connections.
  • At this interactive event, students will get busy on their computers learning how to find scholarships. (They may even win a prize!)
  • Start applying! After all, no part time job will pay them (potentially) $50-100 per hour!
  • We’ll share resources after the party to help students continue with the next steps.

A previous student said she would “definitely recommend the scholarship party for my friends.” The students at our December party were very engaged and said they learned a lot. Several found over a dozen different scholarships to apply just during our party.

Your party hostess won’t just be lecturing about scholarships. We have crafted an interactive event so students will get busy on their computers actually doing the exploration.

Spots are very limited. The price for this premium, interactive workshop is $59.

NOTE: We need at least 6 students to run a good party. If we receive fewer than 6, we will notify you of the cancellation and refund your ticket price. Because this is a live premium event, a recording will not be shared.
