Set Your Student Up to Be College Ready + 5 Scholarships

I recently spoke with Shellee Howard of College Ready.

After helping her son get into Harvard and after he received multiple full scholarships, Shelle went back to school to get her College Consulting degree. She worked as an independent College Consultant for two years before founding College Ready.

Shelle has been featured on FOX, CBS, and NBC. In addition, College Ready has been the topic of many press releases in several newspapers and magazines for the large merit scholarships their students continue to receive.

The College Ready team helps middle and high school students (and their parents) by preparing them for the college admissions process. They work together to create a Stand Out Strategy while striving for the best Academic, Social, Athletic, and Financial fit.

In our conversation, we discussed:

• The tactics and plans that parents can use to set up their student for a debt-free college degree, and the best timing for these plans.

• The need for students to pick the right colleges to apply to.

• The $100,000 cost of not picking the right college.

• How the activities students do today help with scholarships, college admissions, and even “adulting.”

• The scholarship strategy that can unlock college options.

• The hidden costs of college.

• The scholarship myths that will cost you money if you believe them.
