…now more than ever, but there are problems facing school districts that may prevent that help from being offered.
Problems Facing School District:
• No Child Left Behind legislation mandates that every student receive college and financial aid information.
• Budget concerns may mean fewer staff to work directly with students.
• Counselors may be overburdened with academic concerns, or heavy case loads, preventing one-on-one help.
• Information on financial aid and scholarships is available, but some students need a more direct approach.
So, the question becomes:
What is the best use of district resources for helping students achieve their financial aid goals?
The answer: Hire Me!
My experience and proven track record makes all the difference. (More information on Sharon.)
I can help train your staff or students for much less than hiring another staff member.
I trained my inner city students to navigate the financial aid process,
and in turn, they helped each other. That made a huge difference
in our scholarship and financial aid awards.
When I began coaching students through a focused approach, look

Benefits of hiring a Coach for your school district:

process
Burden lightened for counseling staff

How does it work?
I will train your students, administrators or counselors with what they need to know to help each other.
The training format is flexible and customized to an individual district's needs.
Your students will get in-depth, step-by-step guidance on financial aid and scholarships.
I teach the students what to do. They will do the actual work themselves.
I have proof that my system works:
