I recently spoke with Sarah, whose daughter, Madeline, won 18 scholarships at her senior awards event. Sarah describes their scholarship journey and how they achieved such great success.

Families often focus on GPA and test scores when it comes to scholarships—but there’s another powerful lever: your student’s college major.

In this free, live panel event, master career coach Lisa Marker-Robbins and scholarship strategist Dave Peterson will explain how students who make intentional, well-informed major choices can unlock more merit-based and private scholarship opportunities—and how to jump-start the process so you don’t leave money on the table.

You’ll also hear insights from our moderators, Mike Bergin and Amy Seeley, hosts of the Tests and the Rest podcast, as we discuss:

✅How early career exploration improves both college applications and scholarship outcomes

✅What scholarship committees are really looking for—and how your teen can stand out

✅When and how to begin the process before deadlines sneak up

✅Real stories of students who aligned their goals and earned more aid

This is a live, interactive session—we’ll take your questions during the event and offer expert guidance you can act on right away.

Whether your teen is unsure about their major or already has a goal in mind, this session will help you uncover new financial opportunities you may be missing. Click here to register: https://courses.flourishcoachingco.com/scholarships-majors
