Zero Debt Degree

It’s no secret that college costs are increasing, but so is the competition for scholarships. Zero Debt Degree: How to Find Scholarships with Less Competition covers how to identify the scholarships that no one would ever think to search for, stand out from other applicants, and earn money for college.

The author, Janeisha Cambridge, is the founder and scholarship coach at Zero Debt Degree. Her implementation of the strategies shared in Zero Debt Degree: How to Find Scholarships with Less Competition helped her earn over one million dollars in collective scholarships offered, secure four full ride academic scholarship offers to universities across three different states, and complete undergraduate and graduate school debt free.

This book is primarily for high school and undergraduate students who want to make their scholarship search easier while remaining strategic and effective. Cambridge introduces seven types of scholarships, reviews the full application process, and provides access to downloadable scholarship organization tools, scholarship trackers, student résumé templates, communication templates for requesting letters of recommendation and following up with scholarship providers, sample scholarship essays and writing hooks, and guidance on crafting financial aid appeal letters.

In this book, you’ll learn how to:

• Find scholarships most students overlook
• Build an organization system to manage scholarship applications and deadlines
• Understand the role and importance of FAFSA and CSS Profile in funding college
• Prepare for scholarship and college interviews
• Write a strong student résumé, even with limited experience or awards
