Hello and welcome to the very first issue of ScholarSprint™ Pro!
We’re excited to have you here at the starting line of something we believe can make a real difference for families navigating the complex, often overwhelming, world of college scholarships.
Where the Idea Began
ScholarSprint™ Pro was born out of a simple observation: while there are thousands of scholarships out there, finding the right ones—and applying in time—can feel like a fulltime job. We’ve seen students and families spend hours digging through outdated lists, incomplete links, or generic advice, only to end up missing opportunities.
We thought: What if someone could do the digging for them—carefully, thoughtfully, and consistently—and deliver those opportunities right to their inbox?
That’s exactly what we set out to do.
Our Purpose and Guiding Principle
Our mission is simple: save you time and help you win more scholarships.
We focus on:
Quality over quantity – Every scholarship we share is vetted for relevance, legitimacy, and potential value.
Clarity – We provide direct links and clear requirements so you know exactly where to start.
Actionable insights – Alongside opportunities, we’ll share proven tips for application success and ways to stand out.
Our guiding principle is to keep your costs low while making sure the information is accurate, timely, and actionable.
What to Expect
Starting September 1, 2025, you’ll receive two issues each month, each one packed with:
10 vetted scholarships (including some that rarely make the “big lists”)
One standout student idea to inspire or guide your approach
Two high-value resources or affiliate finds that can save you money or boost your application game
You can subscribe to the full version for $7.00/month or $70/year, or choose our free version, which includes fewer scholarships but still gives you access to all articles and two high-value resource links per issue.
Why It Matters
College costs aren’t getting any lower, but your family’s chances of finding the right funding can get a lot higher—if you have the right information at the right time. That’s our promise to you: we’ll make that search faster, clearer, and more successful.
We’re thrilled to have you with us on this journey, and we can’t wait to help you sprint toward your scholarship goals.
Here’s to a future filled with opportunities.
