Jocelyn Paonita Pearson founded The Scholarship System to share her own experience of graduating from college with ZERO student loans.

In this episode, we’re talking about how to use scholarships to pay for college. We’ve all heard the horror stories of those who graduate with hundreds of thousands of dollars in student debt. Many of my clients are faced with the very real tradeoff between making sure their kids graduate with no (or minimal) debt and funding their own retirement. To make matters worse, there’s so much conflicting information around the topic of financial aid that it can be completely overwhelming. It takes practice to learn the difference between a marketing scam and a real opportunity, and few students discover how many incredible scholarships are out there for the taking. If you’re trying to make sense of it all and can’t figure out how you (or your kids) will pay for college or university, today’s episode of Profit Boss® Radio is for you. I’m joined by Jocelyn Paonita Pearson, founder of The Scholarship System. Over the course of her college career, Jocelyn secured over $126,000 in college scholarships, graduated with zero student loans, and even received overage checks to cover her expenses. And now, she’s teaching others how to do the same. Her 6-step system for finding scholarships has helped families secure over seven figures in scholarships! So, are you ready to learn how to avoid crushing student debt, find scholarships you never knew existed, and learn how to actually win them? Then you don’t want to miss this episode.

Jocelyn Paonita Pearson paid for her entire college education by finding and applying for scholarships that were overlooked or ignored by others. The oldest of five children, her parents made it clear that they were not in a position to pay for or take on debt for her higher education. She turned her relatively unique experience of graduating completely debt-free into a business when she found herself answering the same questions from family and friends about how she did it. Her system turned into a self-published ebook then an interactive course and now into a thriving business and a community with a mission to help families secure $100 million dollars in college scholarships.

You don't have to get into debt to go to school. Even though it looks as if everyone has student debt these days, there are actually people out there that go to go to school for free! And no, it's not because they are trust-fund kids, it's because they applied to scholarships and were able to secure enough funding to pay for their tuition. I was able to get my first year paid because of scholarships, and Jocelyn Paonita, founder of The Scholarship System, was able to get her degree paid from scholarships too. Now, she's on a mission to help others prevent themselves from getting into student debt by teaching others about scholarships through her online community, courses and book. Long description: I met Jocelyn Paonita Pearson over 2 years ago at FinCon in San Diego. And ever since that first meeting, I remember thinking that I needed to interview Jocelyn on my podcast. Well, it took me a while to finally get around to ask her, but I’m so glad I did wait because she has been able to accomplish so much since that first meeting. Now, she’s running her own successful company called The Scholarship System, has a best-selling book (also called The Scholarship System), and has a popular online course focused on helping parents and students find scholarships. As mentioned in our interview together, right up until now her company has helped secure $1,000,000 in scholarships for students. In other words, that’s $1,000,000 of debt those students just avoided. That’s major! In our interview, we chat a lot about how to prevent getting into debt through student loans by getting scholarships, and I want to share the 3 top tips Jocelyn shared with me about how to up your chances of getting scholarships to pay for college. Start Local Don’t start big when it comes to scholarships, start small by researching local scholarships you’re eligible for. The logic with this is that even though these scholarships may not be big money, there is less competition because most people don’t know about them. Jocelyn herself had some great experiences applying (and getting) local scholarships for her own degree. One degree she mentioned only had 4 applicants, and the it was then decided that the scholarship would be divided evenly amongst each applicant so everyone came out ahead! Pitch Companies to Start their Own Scholarships If there’s a company you like, pitch them the idea to start their own scholarship. Not only would there be some potential tax benefits, it could also be used as a marketing tool or a way for them to recruit future talent. All You Need Is One Great Application Kit Yes, it will take you some to get your materials together to apply to a bunch of different scholarships, but here’s a great tip. Just focus your energy on creating one awesome application kit, that should include things like a personal statement, then tweak those documents just a little bit to customize them for each application. Most students think they need to create unique documents for each application, but you can actually just duplicate what you’ve got by making small changes to each. That’s what you do when you’re applying for different jobs, so it’s the same thing for scholarship applications. For full episode show notes, visit https://jessicamoorhouse.com/160

Jocelyn Paonita Pearson is the founder of The Scholarship System, an online platform that helps students graduate college debt-free. Through her own journey of getting her entire college tuition paid for (and then some) Jocelyn was able to create more money-making opportunities to create passive income post-college. In this episode we chat about making money through rental properties, writing and self-publishing a book, and getting started down the path of creating an online business. Check out all the details in the show notes.

Jocelyn Paonita Pearson talks about self-publishing an Amazon Best-Seller, The Scholarship System, turning that best seller into an online course and live workshops, and why she gave up climbing the corporate ladder on this episode of Tiebreakers.

Jocelyn Pearson graduated from college and started working a corporate job full time. She began her mornings working on her book The Scholarship System and then headed off to her nine to five job. After planning in advance, crunching numbers, and receiving a little help from her passive income streams, Jocelyn was able to leave the corporate world and enter her own world. Now, Jocelyn is focusing on helping people face the financial burdens of school with her book and enjoying the newly found freedom of working on her own time.

You know me, I’m all about the numbers. I tried to figure out if I really had a year to 18 months of [a] nest where I could survive if I didn’t have any income.” “Between my rental income and my book, I am pretty much covering my own rent, my car expenses and groceries. So, my main living expenses have officially been covered and I have only been three months out of a job. ” “Sure, I am making a lot less money than when I was in a corporate job, but I am making enough. It’s that ‘new rich’ mentality where I don’t want to be a mega millionaire, but I do want time freedom, and ability to travel. That is the financial goal I am trying to get to, and these things help me get there.” “I would allow myself one or two major shopping sprees a year, where I had a set dollar amount. So I did treat myself, and I did get a new wardrobe, but because I did it in one big day, and I had this set amount. I think in the end I saved way more.” “Do a quick budget. All you have to do is write down rent or mortgage, the major expenses, and keep it to ten. That first step of looking at what you think you are spending, can be a great first step.” “You should be saving a good 10-20 percent of your income. I know that’s a lot, but if you can set that at the top [of your budget plan] as one of your categories, and put savings. Count that as one of your expenses because that is going to help you quit your job, if you are in a job you don’t want to stay in, or do the traveling you want to do.” “It’s hard when you are not bringing in income to sit down and spend a whole day planning because you want to just focus on items that are bringing in revenue all the time, but having that overall picture is so important.” “You don’t have to cut back on living.”   [Connect with Jocelyn  Facebook, www.thescholarshipsystem.com Email:thescholarshipsystem@gmail.com]   RESOURCES: AirBnB Dave Ramsey Every Dollar app Mint.com (money manager) The 4-Hour Workweek by Timothy Ferriss Launch by Jeff Walker Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill
