Coming soon, from Sierra Perosa
A new app for students who want to close the gap between college's sticker price and what they actually pay. Discover the scholarships you qualify for, get the coaching to land them, and stack awards until tuition is covered.
Meet the founder
Sierra Perosa has spent seven years in the scholarship space and five years teaching students on social media how to fund the college of their dreams. Before that, she was the student. She had dreamed of NYU since eighth grade, sat down in coffee shops after school every day of senior year, tracked more than 300 awards on a single spreadsheet, and stacked scholarships, grants, and institutional aid into a $350,000 package that covered four years at a $75K-per-year school without a single dollar of student debt.
Her story has been covered by the Wall Street Journal, Yahoo Finance, the Life at Disney blog (as a Disney UNCF Corporate Scholar), and BBC Radio. Scholarship Coaching is designed to give every student the tools and direction they need to go to college for free, just like Sierra.
Inside the app
Learn where to actually look for awards, which databases and hidden corners of the internet pay off, and how to build a personal list of scholarships worth chasing.
For every scholarship, coaching that walks you through how to win it: what readers look for, how to frame your story, and the mistakes to avoid.
Keep every application you've started, submitted, or plan to apply for in one place, with deadline reminders so nothing slips through the cracks.
Sierra's method, the one that funded her own NYU degree, distilled into bite-sized coaching you can use on your own applications.
