Class Descriptions
Web-Based Class – The Scholarship Class for High School Students & Their Parents
The web-based class adds the extra element of being able to follow along in this 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 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.
Class Requirements
For the web-based class you must also have a computer with an Internet connection (at least a 56K modem, cable modem, DSL, or High Speed Internet Broadband Access), Internet Explorer or another compatible browser, and Adobe Acrobat Reader. Special Note for WEB-BASED CLASS – If you have a 56K modem only and DO NOT have a cable modem, DSL, or Broadband access to the Internet, you MUST have two phone lines (one for accessing the Internet and viewing the presentation using your 56K modem, and one for calling in to listen to the instructor, Marianne Ragins). We recommend high speed Internet access.
