Help your child go to college with a scholarship.

Yes! There are many private scholarships that do not ask for immigration status. There are also state financial aid programs like WASFA in Washington and others in more than 10 states.

We recommend our diagnostic consultation to help you understand your child's real university financing options, based on their immigration status, the state they live in, and their academic record.

It depends on the scholarship, but generally, a GPA of 3.5 or higher helps, and the higher, the better. It also depends on whether the high school qualifies for 4, 5, or more. Even so, extracurricular activities and leadership also carry weight.

You can start from 9th grade. Apply directly on the official pages of each scholarship. However, 9th, 10th, and 11th-grade students should focus more on their academic and extracurricular resumes to be better candidates for scholarships awarded directly by the university.

We can help you create a strong and consistent academic CV for scholarships with our personalized class selection consultation, which you can schedule here: https://calendly.com/sistemaescolarusa/asesorias-seleccion-clases (This is for students starting grades 9, 10, or 11)

This is a complex topic that changes depending on the state and the school. Therefore, We recommend our online workshop on «$27,» which explains EVERYTHING in a clear and simple way. You’ll have lifetime access and can go at your own pace.
