Welcome

Welcome to the very first SUMMER SCHOLARSHIP CLASS!!  In the next six weeks, we have a lot of work to do, but, with luck and all of your new knowledge about the scholarship process, you will start earning money to continue your education.

With the discontinuation of student loans at the College of the Desert,  finding scholarships is more critical than ever.  If you are committed to getting a FREE education, you must take this class seriously.  I'll provide you with the tools that you need, but the rest is up to you.  A number of my students have earned a Bachelor's Degree with very little out-of-pocket money.  In fact, last year a student received a $25.00 refund.  Not bad???
