Scholarships to Graduate Debt Free w/ Jocelyn Pearson #860

How would you like a completely paid-for college?! That sounds like an absurd pipe dream, but our guest today did it herself. In fact, she would receive a cash check each semester for any additional expenses she might’ve incurred as well! ALSO, scholarships paid for six months studying abroad in Spain – she’s not messing around! We’re joined by Jocelyn Pearson, the founder of The Scholarship System, which is an online resource that offers training sessions and online courses to teach folks how to find, apply for, and win valuable scholarships that can allow you to graduate debt free. To date, The Scholarship System has helped families secure over $13 million in scholarships by teaching them how to find the scholarships that are winnable (including specific search terms), to avoid the more scammy types of scholarships, utilizing AI to help you snag free money, how you can even create your own scholarship just by asking, the optimal timing for highschool students to begin applying for scholarships, and much more!
