Personal List of Schools
If they don't already have one, we help your student craft a custom list of schools to target that are rated highly for their commitment to financial aid opportunities and affordability for all students.
CREATING VALUE FOR STUDENTS, PARENTS, AND SCHOOLS
Founded in 2010 by Derrius Quarles, the Million Dollar Scholar, we have developed a model that prepares students from any background to be more competitive for scholarship opportunities.
$25Million
Our coaches have lived what they teach. Our process is not simply based on logic – its rooted in real experience winning the most prestigious scholarships in the world. Beyond this, our process has been successful for students from all walks of life – to the tune of $25 Million dollars!
54Mins.
The average high school student receives 54 MINUTES of college advising across 4 years of education. This is a disappointing fact. Million Dollar Scholar coaching allows dedicated time to be provided for college and financial-aid preparation topics.

Institutional Aid Guidance
After your student has their list of schools we guide them to research institutional scholarship and financial aid programs specific to these schools of choice and prepare them to successfully access these opportunities.
Track All Deadlines
To reduce stress and make sure you don’t miss anything we provide your student a system to keep track of the various deadlines they will be bombarded with during the process of acquiring financial aid.
Craft Strong College Essays
The writing students provide within their application will be the single most important component in their evaluation process – we can assist in the drafting and editing process for this very important content.
Scholarship Search
There are a variety of popular online resources focused on helping your student secure scholarships. We aggregate those resources and point you in the direction of some lesser known resources as well.
Resume Crafting
Helping your student convey the activities they have chosen to participate in and their involvement in the community during their time in high schools will be a critical piece of their evaluation for scholarships.
Recommendation Letters
Your student will need to leverage the good word of others to secure almost all of the scholarship opportunities they pursue, we advise them on how to get the best of those who they ask for these good words.
Prep for your Interviews
Some scholarship or financial aid opportunities will require in-person or video interviews if your students makes it to a final round of evaluation. We give them the tips to increase their confidence and leave a great impression.
Post-Acceptance Decisions
Most students will get accepted to multiple colleges and have to make a decision from there. We help your family weigh all the financial consideration involved in narrowing down to the best option.
