Description
Web-Based Class – The Scholarship Class for High School Students & Their Parents
This is a web based version of The Scholarship Workshop presentation conducted by Marianne Ragins, $400,000 scholarship winner. If you are interested in attending The Scholarship Workshop presentation but do not live in an area where a presentation is currently being held with a live in-person audience, then you should attend this virtual class. Your attendance at this course will qualify you for the Ragins/Braswell National Scholarship. The web-based class adds the extra element of being able to follow along in the class by viewing actual examples such as web sites, scholarship search engines, essay writing samples, winning application packages, local scholarship research techniques, recommendations, and much more.
For nearly 20 years, much of this information has been taught by Marianne Ragins, $400,000 scholarship winner, to students and parents throughout the country in the popular and highly informative 3-hour interactive Scholarship Workshop presentation. The web-based class uses the telephone and the course materials. You must also have a computer and Internet access to join. It is a 90-minute class that allows you to see and interactively participate in the class.
During The Scholarship Class for High School Students & Their Parents, we will discuss:
- Invaluable resources for uncovering scholarship opportunities
- Easy-to-follow guidelines for writing winning, personal essays with actual examples from Ragins’ scholarship quest
- Helpful tips on using the Internet to research scholarship sources
- An inside look at how to get the best recommendations
- Useful tips for standing out in a crowd of scholarship applicants
