Are you worried about how to pay for college? Stressed because it’s so expensive? Are you having trouble finding scholarships, or all you find don’t apply to you? 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! So grab your cold brew and TI-89, and listen in on the most stress-free and debt-free class you’ve ever attended: this is Money and Mental Peace. **Get Scholarships and Pay For College Without Student Loans** WANT ME TO FIND YOU UP TO $30,000 IN SCHOLARSHIP OPPORTUNITIES!? --> https://calendly.com/moneyandmentalpeace Facebook --> Christian College Girl Community - Scholarships & Graduate Debt-Free - https://www.facebook.com/groups/734349047530666 Connect --> info@moneyandmentalpeace.com Instagram --> @moneyandmentalpeace - https://www.instagram.com/moneyandmentalpeace/ Topics included in this podcast: debt free, college scholarships, graduate scholarships, undergraduate scholarships, budget tips, financial freedom, save money how, save money tips, saving money tips, scholarships for graduate students, scholarships for undergraduate students, financial peace university, financial peace by Dave Ramsey, college degree, budgeting, dual enrollment, dual enroll, college grants, grants for college, pell grant, pell grant, pell grant fafsa, STEM scholarships, college fund 529, 529 plan, 529 plan best, parent plus loan, federal student loan, private student loan, Ramsey Solutions, every dollar app, EveryDollar app, debt free degree, debt-free degree, net price calculator, myintuition, scholarships for high school seniors, scholarships for high school students, scholarship owl, scholarships 360, scholarships360, scholarships to apply for, Dave Ramsey budget, scholarship search engines, financial peace university by dave ramsey, scholarshipowl scholarship, scholarships for graduate students women, financial peace university with dave ramsey

Sooooo, college is not for everyone. I know I'm a podcast who solely talks about college, but I'm here to tell you it's honestly unnecessary. It can be amazing and fantastic and super helpful! But it's not always NECESSARY. I present some arguments against college in today's episode, and talk about what success is.

92 - My Cousin Earned $55,000 in Scholarships from 4 Recycled Essays!!
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.

Hello sunshine! Do you feel on top of life, checking off your to-do list, accomplishing your goals... until your period hits? Dude, what happened. Did you know that there is a way to arrange your calendar around your hormones, like doing the things that require more energy during the times of the month you have more energy? Also, you could arrange more "thinking time" around the monthly times that you have more mental acuity. Crazy cool, huh?
My guest SJ has amazing expertise in this area. Cycle syncing can literally save your sanity in college when you're on your period. You'll be low key amazed!
