About The Scholarship Academy
The mission of The Scholarship Academy is to prove to low income/first generation high school students that college is a realistic possibility. Our aim is to increase the amount of non-federal financial aid “below average” students obtain by equipping them with the necessary tools to aggressively pursue viable scholarship
- ptions.
The average college student carries an estimated $23,000 worth of student loan debt, which in many cases causes a student to leave school before graduating. TSA works to help students reduce debt by targeting three main components:
- An increase in competition for limited scholarship
resources,
- A lack of parental support and development of an
early college funding strategy, and
- The inability of students to address the gaps in their
financial aid package over the course of their enrollment. Raised over $200,000 in Private Scholarships to go to Howard University, then literally wrote the book on how to she was able to do it.
