Free Career Match
Grant & Scholarship Search
Free money for education exists - and I can help you find it
Yes, There Really Is Free Money Available
Billions of dollars in grants and scholarships go unclaimed every year simply because students don't know they exist or don't know how to find them. While this might seem obvious, many families are so focused on career planning that they overlook this crucial step in funding their education.
How I can help
I offer personalized grant and scholarship research as a completely free service. If you're interested simply send me an email to get started. This service is available whether you are working with me on career planning or not, but it is optional so you must request it.
Remember: every scholarship you receive is money you don't have to borrow or pay back. Even small scholarships add up and can make a significant difference in your total education costs.​​
How the Search Process Works
I use 10+ scholarship sources including Fastweb, Scholly, and Going Merry to conduct comprehensive searches tailored to your specific situation. However, there are some important things to understand about this process:
What I'll Need From You
To find the most relevant opportunities, I'll need some basic information about your situation: family financial background, academic profile, extracurricular activities, race/ethnicity, religious or corporate affiliations, and any special circumstances or accommodations. This helps me target scholarships you're actually eligible for and ensures we don't miss opportunities designed specifically for your background.
Important Limitations: I search both general scholarships (from foundations, organizations, and programs like Fastweb) and school-specific scholarships. However, since there are thousands of colleges, each with dozens of unique scholarships, I focus school-specific research on 5-10 schools that you have serious interest in attending. For example, if you're interested in Texas A&M because your parents are alumni, I'll research their legacy scholarships, academic awards, and other Texas A&M-specific opportunities you might qualify for, but not Baylor, or Univ of Houston unless you specifically request them.
​
This is a Team Effort: I'll do the research and provide you with targeted opportunities, but you should also be actively looking. The more people searching for you, the better your chances of finding funding.
Make Yourself More Scholarship-Worthy
The best time to start building your scholarship profile is now - even if you're still in high school. Scholarship committees look for students who demonstrate service, leadership, and community involvement. Here are practical ways to strengthen your applications:
School Leadership
Join clubs, student government, or organizations at your high school and actively seek leadership roles with real responsibilities.
Community Service
Get involved in your church, civic organizations, or volunteer programs. Consistent, long-term service is more valuable than one-time events.
Strategic Employment
Join clubs, student government, or organizations at your high school and actively seek leadership roles with real responsibilities.
Special Talents
Develop and showcase unique skills - athletics, arts, music, writing, or technical abilities that make you stand out, but with a true portfolio.
Personal Projects
Start initiatives that benefit your community - fundraisers, awareness campaigns, or programs that address local needs.
Mentorship & Teaching
Tutor younger students, mentor peers, or assist with community programs - shows maturity and leadership.
Beyond Just Scholarships
These activities don't just help with scholarship applications - they build character, create networking opportunities, develop real-world skills, and make you a more well-rounded person. Also, society benefits when young people are engaged and contributing to their communities.
