OUR MODERN DAY CRISIS
Here are a few fast facts about student debt today:
Crazy? Mhm.
Scary? Definitely.
This is serious business. But what’s the solution?
THE SOLUTION
More often than not, I come across parents and students with misconceptions about scholarships. Many parents believe their students won’t qualify or are not “talented” enough to win. Maybe you’ve thought the same thing. In most cases, it simply isn’t true.
Many students are more qualified than they think and have the capacity to earn thousands of dollars in scholarships within the span of a few months!
Why spend your hard-earned money on college when there are billions in scholarship funding available? In 2012 alone, available scholarship money totaled at $6.2 BILLION! Talk about a good payday.
In a world where college costs won’t stop rising any time soon, don’t miss out on free money to pay for that degree.
I know you want the best for your child. So cheer up, champ! You know the solution. Now, it’s time to take action!
