How She Landed Over $1,000,000 In Scholarships - Important Lesson for HBCU Students

Posted By: Will Moss on July 17, 2020

Tips on what #scholarships to apply to and where to find them!

I was able to receive over $1 million in non-institutional scholarships for college that will allow me to attend undergrad for free and save $40,000 for graduate school!

This video gives insight into how to apply to scholarships, how to win scholarships, and how to find scholarships!

Applying for scholarships can be a tedious process but is 100% worth the time! Learning how to find scholarships is also a difficult process but utilizing search tools listed below (in the resource doc!) and google in general can help you discover hidden gems that provide you with benefits well beyond the scholarship money.

Finding ways to pay for college is a process that should occur BEFORE and DURING the college application process.



I was able to get my college (and even some grad school) paid for through numerous scholarships!

Scholarships I won:
Coca-Cola Scholarship (Winner)
The Gates Scholarship (Winner)
Ron Brown Scholarship (Winner)
Elks MVS Scholarship (Winner)
The Boettcher Scholarship (Winner - Did not accept)
The Daniels Fund Scholarship (Winner - Did not accept)
Google Generation Scholarship (Winner)
Amazon Future Engineers Scholarship (Winner)
KPMG Future Leaders Scholarship (Winner)
