Paying for College with Scholarships (Session 1 of 3) – Manhattan Beach Library TODAY (registration required)
In-Person Program
Wednesday, January 21
5:30pm – 6:30pm
Manhattan Beach Library
In this three-part program, Rebecca Lippman draws upon her experience as a UCLA instructor and scholarship advisor to guide college applicants through a routine of practices used to identify, apply for, and manage scholarships. For ages 12 – 17.
Attendance is limited, and advance registration is required. You must register for all three sessions individually. Participants do not need to attend all three sessions. Please register every individual in your party, including students. This will be used to save your spots in the program. We cannot guarantee availability for any unregistered attendees.
Over the course of three presentations, Rebecca Lippman establishes groundwork for embracing the fact that scholarships exist for everyone, regardless of academic merit or personal background. Without a good strategy, however, these scholarships feel difficult to find. Employing strategies that she has developed over the past decade as an instructor, Becca walks participants through a routine of practices used to identify, apply for, and manage scholarships. These interactive tools and sequenced action items enable students to succeed in their customized searches for community-based scholarships, subsequently reducing the cost of higher education.
January 21 – Session 1: The Complex Landscape of Scholarships for College
Before you dive into the many scholarship books, YouTube tutorials, and spam-heavy databases that are out there, attend this introduction to the contemporary scholarship landscape. In this presentation, Becca demystifies the complex network and application processes related to scholarships for college and prepares you for the tuition ahead. Attendees learn why merit and community-based scholarships are so hard to navigate, how to approach the scholarship search process, and what the realistic timeline looks like if you or your student plans Fall enrollment.
