Read on to learn more about the Scholarship GPS Program and how you can get early access at a heavily discounted rate.
Scholarship GPS is my new online, on-demand, video-based course where I share my insights on how to find and earn scholarships. Each lesson is designed to be short, typically between three and ten minutes. This unique ‘bite-sized’ learning model is tailored to fit into your busy schedule, empowering you to learn at your own pace.
As a Your Daily Scholarship subscriber, you can get access to the course before the general public.
It's important to note that the course is a work in progress. While there are still lessons to be added, over 40 lessons are already uploaded and ready for viewing, and new lessons will be added regularly. This allows you to hit the ground running while new lessons are being prepared and added regularly.
One of the things that makes Scholarship GPS unique is the BONUS LESSONS included in the course. I know scholarships, but I don’t know college admissions, test prep, or other things related to college prep. But I do know professionals with expertise in those things. These trusted professionals have lessons INCLUDED in the course—a kind of high-level “101” introduction to their area of expertise.
As a thank you for your support, you can access the course at a heavily discounted pre-launch rate! You can sign up for LIFETIME ACCESS to the Scholarship GPS course for only $47! Simply use coupon code DESERVE at checkout. Click here to sign up!
Remember, this special offer is ONLY for Your Daily Scholarship subscribers and is being offered at this discounted rate because the course is still a work in progress. But while I build out the rest of the course, you can start on your scholarship journey today! Don’t delay; coupon code DESERVE expires on July 8, 2024, at Noon Eastern.
