For many families, getting into college becomes the main focus—applications, deadlines, FAFSA, essays, and decisions.
And somewhere along the way, scholarships get pushed to the back burner.
Maybe you’re thinking, “We’ll worry about scholarships when senior year gets closer.” Or maybe your child is already applying, but you’re unsure where to look, what scholarship judges want to see, or how to help your student stand out.
Whether college is years away or right around the corner, this webinar will help you understand the questions worth asking now.
This free webinar is for parents with children from elementary school through high school who want to feel more prepared for the road to college without waiting until senior year to figure everything out.

Your host and scholarship expert for this special parent webinar
Monica Matthews has been helping families navigate the college scholarship process since 2009.
Her scholarship journey began while helping her own children find ways to pay for college. All three of her sons went on to win numerous scholarships, helping Monica and her husband put their children through college without taking out parent loans.
Today, Monica teaches families how to approach scholarship applications strategically and is the author of the How to Win College Scholarships ebooks.
She also runs the Scholarship Help and College Talk for Parents community, where she helps parents navigate scholarships, college planning, and the questions that come along with preparing their children for life after high school.
Her philosophy is simple:
It’s not only whether students apply for scholarships—it’s how they apply that can make a difference.
