StepUp Utah Title IV and More Podcast

To round out the school year (and season one of the podcast!), we’re discussing three ways students of all ages can prepare for college during the summer. One easy way to do that is to apply for scholarships, and Jenny Sass from my529 is joining us to talk about an easy and fun way you could win a $1,000 scholarship this summer.

In this month’s episode, we’re discussing how students can find and excel at internships during college.

In this month’s episode, we’re discussing how students can protect themselves from scholarship scams and find legitimate scholarship resources online.

In this month’s episode, we’ve asked a panel of college advisors (from the Utah College Advising Corps) to discuss how students can identify a great recommender, how to politely and professionally ask for a letter of recommendation, and how to set your recommender up for success so they can write the most compelling letter possible on your behalf.

In this episode, Samuel Broncho (Admissions Counselor at the University of Utah) discusses how students can pay for college and develop valuable career skills through college internship opportunities.

Lindsay also discusses her advice on how women and girls who are aspiring to major and work in STEM fields (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) can succeed in college and career.

In this episode, we interview Cate Praggastis, a former teacher who helped her students secure nearly $15 million in college scholarships. Cate shares her advice for finding scholarships, writing a personal statement, and leveraging volunteer opportunities to win scholarship funding.
