Win College Scholarships
As the cost of a four-year college often exceeds $100,000, scholarships
are more important than ever. Yet, few parents and students know
where to start. You don’t have to be an academic superstar to win
free college money. This popular course is taught by Jason Lum, a
recent Harvard and UC Berkeley graduate who won nearly $250,000 in
scholarship money and has worked in the Harvard admissions office.
Learn where to find unadvertised scholarship opportunities, how to
complete scholarship forms and what works and what doesn’t work in
competing for scholarship money. Class fee: $25 one; $35 two.
