Thanks for your interest in our fundraiser opportunity! ScholarPrep is a tracking and organizational system that prepares families for the college and scholarship application process. Our ScholarPrep Organizers encourage students to start planning for their future as soon as they begin their freshman year of high school by setting goals, getting organized and tracking their progress. My mom and I developed ScholarPrep based on my personal experiences applying for college and scholarships, as well as my mom's experience serving on scholarship review boards. ScholarPrep was initially created to make college more accessible and to help students earn the scholarships they need to pay for their education. As we have worked with families, we have found that by engaging students in the planning process, they are able to learn life­long skills for success. The self­confidence they gain by actively determining their own future is something they will carry with them through high school, college and into the job market. Learning the value of planning, organization, education, taking initiative, giving back to the community, developing their interests and pursuing their passions will ensure that they will find success and fulfillment in life. We hope you will join us in our mission to empower students to explore their interests, create opportunities and develop their abilities so that they may follow their dreams.

Products ScholarPrep Organizer - Portfolio Edition Getting organized is the first step to helping students prepare for college. This essential step will ensure that their college and scholarship applications are complete – that nothing is forgotten or missed. The best way to do this is with a physical organizer. Even though we live in a digital world, the most effective way to keep a monthly commitment to planning is to have that physical component. Applications will require physical copies of letters of recommendation, resumes, cover letters, and other application documents. On top of that, research shows that writing down your commitments and goals by hand will help you accomplish them. Our Organizer is the tool that parents will keep on their desk at home as a physical reminder to sit down with their student each month to do a little planning and goal setting. Dimensions: 10.625 x 11 x 1 in Book Details: 176 Pages; 14 Tab Dividers; 12 Pockets; Wrapped Spiral Binding Weight: 2.175 lbs

Book Sections: 1. Introduction 2. How to Use This Book 3. Academics and Testing 4. Extracurricular Activities 5. Community Involvement 6. Leadership 7. Honors and Awards 8. Work Experience 9. Resumes 10. Essays and Statements 11. Letters of Recommendation 12. FYI

Products ScholarPrep Organizer - Curriculum Edition With the growing emphasis on college readiness, the pressure is on schools to prepare students for life after high school. However, this comes at a time of decreasing budgets and increasing demands on school employees, especially counselors. While every student deserves a one­on­one, individualized approach to preparing for college, this is not always feasible. By working directly with schools and organizations to provide our organizers to incoming freshman, we can help bridge the gap. Our Curriculum Edition contains the same content and tracking pages, but without the tabs, pockets and wrapped binding. Dimensions: 8.5 x 11 x 0.5 in Book Details: 165 Pages; Plastic Spiral Binding Weight: 1.025 lbs The cover of the Curriculum Edition can be customized with any logo and colors for no additional cost. Text pages and sections can be customized upon request (minimum order of 25 books required for custom content)

Digital Product College and Scholarship Planning Course By helping families through the planning process, we have gained an appreciation for the fact that every student is different and every situation is different, so, while our Organizer can help everyone get organized, it can’t answer specific questions about how a student should be spending their time during high school. The second step to helping students get accepted to the college of their dreams and earn the scholarships to pay for it, is to ensure that their applications are impressive – that they clearly demonstrate who a student is and what sets them apart. When we created the ScholarPrep Organizer, it was to give parents and students a tool for getting organized. Our College and Scholarship Planning Course is the solution to help students and parents navigate this second step of the process. Our course helps students pinpoint exactly how to make sure their applications stand out!

PEEK INSIDE THE COURSE CURRICULUM We offer three different course levels, so that families can pick the one that will work best for their needs: Our Essentials Course ($197) is the 7­module course you can see above. The Essentials Course Bundle ($247) includes one of our comprehensive ScholarPrep Organizers – the ultimate companion to the course! Our Premium Course Bundle ($297) includes the Organizer and a 30­ minute, one­on­one planning session.
