We all know that the cost of higher education has skyrocketed.

And for many families, the sticker price of a degree feels like an impossible hurdle.

But what if I told you that there's a way to significantly lower or even eliminate the cost of college without having to take

out a massive amount of student loan debt. Well, today, my special guest has the answer. But first,

I want to welcome you back to the Money Girl podcast. I'm Laura Adams, an award-winning author,

on-camera spokesperson, money speaker, and founder of the money stack. That's my

substack newsletter. And of course, host of Money Girl with over 44 million downloads. You can

always connect with me, send in a money question, and learn more by visiting laura d.adams.com.

So I'm really excited to bring you my interview today with Jocelyn Pearson.

She's the founder of the scholarship system.

She's turned the scholarship search into a science.

After winning more than $126,000 in scholarships and graduating debt-free,

she's made it her mission to teach students and parents how to do the same thing. So whether you're a student heading to college,

considering a graduate degree, or you're a parent planning for the future, this conversation

can save you thousands. So I hope that you'll stick with me. Jocelyn and I discuss myths that

keep people from applying for scholarships. Why, you don't need to be a straight-A student or even an

athlete to get scholarships. The timeline for students and families to maximize scholarships.

Some strategies to find the hidden money that most students miss, the amount of time

it takes to apply for and win scholarships, and how to get more information at the

scholarship system.com slash money girl. And on the scholarship system YouTube channel,

I'll have links to both of those in the notes for the show. And we talk about a lot more.

So here's my interview with Jocelyn Pearson.
