My guest on this episode, Jocelyn Paonita, graduated from college debt free after earning over $125,000 in scholarship money both during AND while in college. She has since gone on to create her own course, The Scholarship System, which coaches people how to implement the strategies she used to earn scholarship money to graduate debt free. Can you imagine $125,000 in scholarship money and what that would mean to a young person? That could mean buying their first car, their first house, or even the wedding of their dreams. This episode is POWERFUL. You MUST, MUST share this with anyone you know that is either in college or in high school.
