Before you dive into the many scholarship books, YouTube tutorials, and spam-heavy databases that are out there, attend this introduction to scholarships for college.

Learn about philanthropists and why the scholarships they create are so hard to find on the internet. Develop an informed approach to the search process and a realistic timeline before you or your student plans to enroll in college.

Start building awareness of how your educational milestones, professional goals, and personal missions connect you to the philanthropic goals of local non-profits, universities, and individuals.

Leave this workshop with a categorized list of search terms, a 3-step approach to searching, and a sense of how public institutions, private donors, and large organizations advertise scholarship opportunities on the internet.

Afraid of writing even more essays? Learn how to minimize churn and develop core vignettes that can be modified to address the most common components of scholarship application requirements.

Familiarize yourself with various scholarship essay prompts and learn strategies for identifying core content, to include in your application materials. Get started writing your essays sooner rather than later.

Once you’ve decided where you plan to go to college, a bunch of campus-based scholarships and opportunities become available to you. But you won’t know about them unless you look for them!

Learn where and when to look for scholarships using your university’s website. Get started mapping out your campus resources, preparing a calendar of annual deadlines, and securing faculty letters of recommendation.

College Counselor at Berkeley High School

Becca has given multiple workshops to students and parents at Berkeley High School.

Through her workshops, I've had the opportunity to learn about the power of persistence (most scholarships will be 5+ clicks in!) and the magic of reframing a personal interest into a viable scholarship thread.

Becca’s workshops have given us vocabulary and concrete starting points, which have incredibly benefitted our middle-class families who might have more limited debt-free options.

Instead of a scattershot approach, Becca shares strategies for an authentic and organized system tailored to any student and family's style.

Bringing Becca to campus has significantly impacted our department by pushing us to learn of additional resources that can support all of our students and families in making higher ed a more financially viable option.

I felt defeated before attending one of Becca’s scholarship talks.

I knew that there was a lot of information available about scholarships, but at the same time, the sheer volume is what made the scholarship journey so daunting.

I didn’t know where to begin. After the first workshop, I walked out with hope. 

Becca is genuinely caring and gave the participants plenty of opportunity to ask questions and get advice that was relevant to their situation. 

Becca provided concrete steps that broke down the scholarship search process.

Through her slides and with her years of experience, Becca clearly explained the tips and organizational techniques to make the best use of our most valuable resource - time.

I feel less intimidated about scholarships after attending Becca’s workshop because she shared lots of real life examples of attaining scholarships as well as her own experience which was very reassuring.

Becca creates a visual and informational learning environment with the use of a slideshow in her workshop.

Rebecca gave us a lot of valuable information about how to locate scholarships and how to apply for them.

Her presentation was well organized and gave us many resources to use. She provided us with websites and tools to use such as spreadsheet templates to organize our findings.

I had no idea how difficult it can be to locate scholarships but after attending Rebecca’s workshop, my husband and I feel better prepared to help our kids.

After attending Becca's workshop I found scholarships less intimidating and easier to find as a student.

Becca created a welcoming environment in her talks where I was not afraid to ask questions.

If I was trying to convince a friend to attend one of Becca’s workshops I would tell them that she teaches very good techniques for finding the right scholarship for you.
