This podcast dives into the real-world journey of pursuing a debt-free degree—whether you’re in high school exploring dual enrollment and college scholarships, or a graduate student seeking out scholarships for women, STEM scholarships, or funding strategies for advanced degrees. We cover everything from using the net price calculator and tools like MyIntuition to understand true college costs, to applying for college grants such as the Pell Grant through the FAFSA.
Listeners will also find budgeting tips and strategies inspired by Dave Ramsey, including insights from Financial Peace University, Ramsey Solutions, and the EveryDollar app. We’ll explore practical ways to save money, build a college fund through a 529 plan, and weigh options like college student loans, the Parent PLUS Loan, federal student loans, or even private student loans. Along the way, we share proven approaches to scholarship strategy and highlight scholarship search engines like ScholarshipOwl and Scholarships360 that can simplify the hunt.

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!)

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.
