How to Win Scholarships for College – 2020 UPDATE
Are you searching for advice on how to win scholarships and trying to find someone who will help make the scholarship process easier and faster? You have come to the right place.
Hello scholarship searchers,
I am so excited to share with you that I have just published the 2020 update to my scholarship guides!
I originally wrote How to Win College Scholarships (Guides for Parents and Students) in 2009 and have since updated them three different times.
This 2020 update is the biggest one yet and you will absolutely love it!
Before I go any further here, I can practically hear the thoughts of many of you saying, “But wait, I recently ordered your scholarship guide. How do I get the update and what will it cost me?”
Remember, I am a mom with a family and I understand where you are coming from.
So, that being said, here is what I have decided.
If you purchased a scholarship guide in the last 30 days, I will be sending you the update for free. If you placed your order in the last six months, you have an opportunity to get a 2020 version for half-off. To get this steep discount, please email me so I can generate a special one-time use coupon code just for you. My email address is info@how2winscholarships.com. To obtain the reduced-price updated scholarship guides, orders must have been placed here on my site and I will be verifying all requests before sending your coupon code. In your email, please include the email address that was used to place your order.
So, what’s new with the 2020 version compared to the last update in 2016?
Here are just a few of the new tips and strategies that you will find in addition to my original content that has helped so many students win scholarships:
- More ways to locate awards without feeling like you are “clicking to nowhere” on the internet
- Additional smart strategies for submitting online scholarship applications
- New tips on finding local scholarships
