Trusted by Organizations Nationwide
College costs are crushing middle-class families
Too “Rich” for Financial Aid. Too “Poor” to Pay Cash.
You did everything right.
You saved. You homeschooled. You sacrificed.
But when you look at college costs — it still feels impossible.
The FAFSA says no aid. The tuition bill says good luck.
You’re stuck in the middle, paying full price for an education your teen deserves help affording.
And as a homeschool parent, there’s no guidance counselor showing you what to do next.
Until now...
We Don’t Just Talk About Scholarships. We Apply for Them.
We’re your family’s Scholarship Strategy Team — helping your teen find and write scholarship winning essays every single month.
Not someday. Not “when you get around to it.”
We meet twice per month for Live Scholarship Application
Sessions where students:
✅ Bring real scholarships that match their strengths
✅ Draft essays with our proven framework
✅ Submit applications during the session
No more “we’ll do it later.”
We get it done — together.

Why It Works
Most teens mean to apply — they just never do.
We turn intention into action.
When students show up monthly, they:
✅Build momentum and confidence
✅Learn transferable writing skills
✅Submit real applications (not just drafts)
It’s not a theory. It’s a monthly habit that builds real results.

"My life changed forever"
" I am a 13-year-old boy and Mrs. Brown has been my writing teacher for the last 2 years. When I first began writing, I really didn't like it at all. It was boring and time consuming. I just didn't feel motivated, and I never felt like I knew how to even start. After being a student with Mrs. Brown, I feel encouraged and writing has actually become something I enjoy. This year, thanks to my fantastic tutor, I developed a love for writing and I'm actually writing a book over the summer. " - Cale, Student
