Overwhelmed with all things school and money? Welcome fam! This podcast will help you find and get scholarships, avoid student loans and maybe even graduate college debt-free! Hey! I’m Kara, a Christian entrepreneur, amateur snowboarder, and scholarship BEAST! I figured out how to not only finish college debt-free, but I even had $10k left over in the bank after graduation. (& btw, my parents weren’t able to help me financially either!) During school, I was worried about paying for next semester. I couldn’t find scholarships that worked specifically for me, and didn’t know how to get started while juggling homework and keeping up with ALL.THE.THINGS. But dude, I learned there was a better way! With God’s direction, I tested out of classes, and found the perfect scholarships, grants, internships, and weird budget hacks that helped me go from overwhelmed to debt-free with $10k in the bank–all with God on my side. ... and I’m here to walk you through this, too. If you are ready to find scholarships specific to you, learn to manage your money well, and have enough money to kill it at college, this pod is for you!

Monday Aug 08, 2022
Monday Aug 08, 2022
You are just going to be floored by the story of my cousin today! I know I've said that for many other guests, but literally I've known this guy my whole life, and I didn't even know how deep or impactful or UNCONVENTIONAL his story went! It is definitely a testament to how God really provided.
$55,000 in scholarships took him not only through college tuition, but paid for his books, fees, gas, food, etc. that he didn't even have to work while in school! The clincher? He did this with 4 recycled essays. WHAT.
Yes, you can reuse scholarship essays you've written. Learn more about that, and his other tips and tricks, in this iconic episode!
LET'S GOOOOOOO!!
Grab your cold brew and TI-89, because class is now in session.
1. Reuse your essays, but make them personalized in the intro and conclusion.
2. Prep for scholarship interviews like job interviews. Prep with a family or friend.
3. Ask about who the scholarship is in memory of and use a personal touch.
4. Look at school, honor's college, major department, and minor department's scholarship applications. Be politely pushy and inquire.
5. Look at your emails from your schools to find scholarships with deadlines out of the normal deadlines!
6. Check out your parents' work and/or unions for potential scholarships.
7. Keep reapplying for scholarships each year.
8. Apply for local scholarships.
9. The FAFSA is required to be filled out, even if you won't qualify for aid.
10. Think about applying for scholarships like you're paying yourself/working for yourself. Take those 2 hours to potentially earn $1000 (just as an example)!
11. Let your passion for your upcoming career come through! Check out the book "What Color is Your Parachute" if you're not sure what your passion is.
