Events › Paying for College with Scholarships

This series of workshops, taught by Rebecca Lippman, will establish a groundwork for students and their parents to embrace the fact that scholarships exist for everyone, regardless of academic merit or personal background.

Please join us for Workshop 3: Developing Unique Essays. This workshop will focus on teaching participants how to develop a series of interchangeable written “modules” that can be used to address the most popular aspects of multiple scholarship essay prompts. Participants will learn to analyze and identify 3 typical varieties of the scholarship essay and walk away with a clear sense of the most relevant content, details, and facts that must be incorporated into a strong application.

Rebecca Lippman brings a decade of experience as a UCLA instructor and advisor at the Center for Scholarships and Scholarly Enrichment, where she coached undergrads through the process of identifying, applying for, and managing scholarships.
