FREE Scholarship Training

Most scholarship apps get skimmed in 60 seconds.

We teach you how to win.

Kristina Ellis won over $500,000 in scholarships and has judged applications from the other side of the table. Now she teaches families what separates winners from the rejection pile.

Good students lose scholarships
every single day.

It's not because they aren't qualified. It's because no one taught them how the selection process actually works.

They apply to the wrong scholarships

Families waste months chasing awards they were never going to win. Strategic targeting, not just volume, is what produces results.

Their essays sound like everyone else's

Judges read hundreds of applications that all blur together. Yours has to earn attention in the first paragraph, or it's likely already over.

They stop after one or two awards

One scholarship doesn't solve the problem. Families who graduate debt-free stack 5–15 awards strategically. Most people don't know this is even possible.

They don't understand how judges decide

Without knowing how the selection table works, students are guessing. The families who win consistently approach it as a system, not a lottery.

$8 Billion Dollars

is the estimated number of private scholarship dollars given out every year. That's over $20M per day. Don't let another day pass without knowing how to play the game to win your share of these awards.

What Scholarship Judges
Actually Look For

 
Kristina has been on both sides, winning over $500K as a student and reviewing applications as a judge. This training reveals what actually moves an application from "maybe" to "yes."

I want to share how much you've helped my son. He followed your advice and was awarded a full scholarship at USI and IU. It pays for everything! Each day we are learning about more scholarships he has won. I am telling everyone we know about you because the advice worked!

I won three outside scholarships this week! So far on this journey, I have won over $30,000 in external scholarships because of you. I'm still waiting on more scholarship decisions and will keep applying like it's my part-time job. You have impacted my life for the better!

I learned about you when I was at my junior college. I knew I wanted to transfer but didn't want debt. You helped me win well over $100,000 in scholarships and graduate debt-free! I even got a $10,000 refund check because I didn't owe anything.

The Judge's Table Framework
A three-stage system built
from the judge's perspective.
This isn't a list of tips. It's the exact process scholarship winners use, mapped to how committees actually evaluate, score, and select.
01
Find
Know where the money is and where you have an edge
Not all scholarships are created equal. You'll learn to navigate the landscape, including merit, need-based, local, niche, and national awards, and build a targeted search strategy so you're applying where your odds are highest. You'll also learn the High-Value College Formula for finding schools that offer the most free money before you even apply.
Scholarship Landscape Targeted Search High-Value College Formula
02
Position
Become the applicant judges remember
Judges don't pick the best student. They pick the one they can clearly understand and confidently defend. You'll build your positioning statement, identify your core traits with real proof, and create a bank of six stories using the MOMENT Method so every essay, prompt, and interview answer reinforces who you are.
Positioning Statement Proof Bank MOMENT Method
03
Execute
Submit stronger applications, more consistently
Strategy means nothing without follow-through. You'll learn how to read financial aid letters so you see the real cost, run every application through a quality-control audit built from rubric criteria, and set up a weekly system with templates, batching, and tracking so you apply consistently without it taking over your life.
