Help students with their Scholarship Research Process

The Scholarship Academy (TSA), is a nonprofit founded by a recipient of over $200,000 in scholarships, teaches low- income and first-generation high school students how to create realistic college funding strategies.

Through in-school curriculum modules, financial aid counselor trainings, and access to an innovative scholarship planning platform, The Virtual Scholarship Center, we connect students to local/state-based scholarship resources that enable them to pursue debt-free degrees.

How it Works

  1. Students sign up for virtual office hours via their virtual scholarship center account

  2. Based on availability and interest, volunteers (you) will help students:

    • Understand their Financial Award Letter

    • Identify additional private aid

    • Re-negotiate their financial aid packages

    • Edit scholarship essays
