The Scholarship Algorithm

by Carlynn D Greene, Davion Smith (Editor)

Overview

Having won 30 scholarships ($125,000) between undergraduate and graduate school for myself and millions for students both in the U.S. and internationally, this comprehensive book details my techniques to secure scholarships and graduate debt-free. The advice in this book is applicable to any type of student no matter your grade/classification or major / study concentration. Those who have won thus far range from:

• STEM, the arts, media concentrations, etc.,
• Med school, law school, graduate school, school of business, etc.,
• High school students, current college students, transfer students, etc.,
• Various U.S. states such as California, Arizona, Ohio, the Carolinas, etc.,
• From various countries such as Canada, Singapore, Ghana, Germany, South Sudan, etc.,

You will be 5x more likely to actually win not just one scholarship -- but multiple. In this book you will be equipped with:

1. Research techniques need to find scholarships that you are more likely to win
2. Ways to speed up your process so that you are not wasting your time
3. Persuasive writing skills needed to write strong and memorable essays
4. And strategies for filling out the application with discussions behind the psychology of what makes a winning application stand out from the rest
