Target audience

• This course is for high school students and their parents who are looking for scholarships as a way to lower college costs
• This course would also be tremendously valuable for
• - high school guidance counselors that advise teens preparing for college
• - college prep and college advocacy professionals who work with 9th through 12th graders
• - community advocates who help college-bound students from low-to-moderate income families
• - current college students looking for scholarships to help them complete their studies
• This course is not as relevant for middle school and elementary school students who are many years away from attending college. However, it can still help younger students or their parents who want to better plan
• This course is not designed to tell students specific names of scholarships they should pursue (whether private or third-party scholarships, corporate scholarships or institutional scholarships from colleges and universities). However, one course resource is a list of scholarships for those of all ages and grades.
