5 Steps to Scholarship Success--Overview
It's been a while since I wrote to this blog. I'm going to start adding to it more frequently. This blog will introduce you to the five steps to Scholarship Success.
- Find 60 to 155 scholarships that are perfect for you.
- Can you prove that you deserve the scholarships. (This is the power option). We're going to help you prepare 36 statements to convince the scholarship committees you deserve the money.
- Solicit four to get five letters of recommendation that you can reuse over and over in your presentations.
- Prepare five to six reusable essays. That saves time, that you modify immediately.
- You apply for two to three scholarships each week in about 60 to 90 minutes.
- Find the scholarships using three sources: scholarship lists, scholarship search engines, and single sources.
- You'll be able to prepare those 36 statements that will say things like, "As chairman of our high school sub for Santa Committee, I supervise 26 students. We raised $12,000 and provided Christmas to 255 disadvantaged families."
- You will solicit four to five letters of recommendation from people who can recognize what you've done and speak specifically of your accomplishments.
- You'll write reusable essays and we'll teach you how to take essays you've already written and turned them into essays that people want to use and will reward in scholarships.
- Finally, with all of those reusable materials, you'll start completing two to three applications each week and it'll take you about 60 to 90 minutes to do all three each week.

Merry Christmas 2013: We Return After A Month’s Absence
Before we begin today’s post, we would like to apologize for not posting a blog since November 19. My life got very busy just before and immediately after Thanksgiving Day. The hectic nature of hiring someone (see my blog www.LarryonCareers.blogspot.com for more details) occupied my time and attention. I could not muster the intellect to write. I apologize for the lack of substance for the last month. I will try to compensate for the lost weeks with solid content in the future. But first…
Enjoy the Messages of A Christmas Carol
I read The Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens each year at this time. I also watch several film versions of the book. I enjoy the comedy of Mr. Magoo’s Christmas Carol which was available on www.HuluPlus.com. I love to sing the songs from Albert Finney’s Scrooge “Thank you very much”. I think George C. Scott’s delivers a great performance as Ebenezer Scrooge delivering “Humbug, Bah” without sounding like a cliché.
Patrick Stewart’s rendition of A Christmas Carol, however, shares a segment of the book the other versions disregard. In this movie, the spirit of Christmas present takes Scrooge on a journey of through the mines of Wales, a lighthouse, ship in a storm, and people in a Church all to the tune of Silent Night. In addition, Scrooge attends a worship service before visiting his nephew’s party.
Let Us Bring the Spirit of Christ Into Christmas
I also watched several videos on YouTube that emphasized the peace that surrounds a Christ-centered Christmas rather than a commercial, mall-centered season. Those videos calmed my soul and brought peace to our home. We avoided a lot of shopping this year.
Our family followed the encouragement offered by Thomas S. Monson in the meme at the beginning of this post. We focused our celebration on dropping the last syllable from “the spirit of Christmas” and focused on “the spirit of Christ”. We encourage you to do the same.
Saturday we share how involving friends enhances your success applying for scholarships
