At The Scholarship Academy, we believe scholarship assistance can no longer be structured into a “one-size fits all” theory. Our tailored approach to helping students develop an effective Scholarship Brand is transforming the way families view the scholarship application process.
Our work with high school and college students throughout the nation has revealed that there is a desperate need of more comprehensive information and hands-on guidance surrounding the college admissions/financial aid process.
Our desire is to create hope for a new generation of educated, empowered young people who possess the entrepreneurial capacity to lead in their chosen fields and the financial tools to make meaningful investments in the lives of those around them.
In 2010, 51.1% of all undergraduate students took out loans to fund their college education. Roughly 38 minutes is the total amount of time a financial aid counselor spends per student discussing financial aid options.
- The student loan market is currently valued at $96 billion. (Disproportionately affects low-income, first-generation students.)
- An average undergrad student only receives $4,656 in grant aid.
- Average college tuition is $25,000 per year.
- The average guidance counselor has 36 minutes to devote to a student’s college planning process
- For many students it’s the GAPS that prevents them from maintaining matriculation
