Product placement

College Board: acts - it is a database that allows users to filter scholarships by income, grade, and subject. Removing it would change the video's recommendation for finding scholarships. Youssef University: appears - it is mentioned as a place to find scholarships, but its interface is not operated and no visible result comes from it. Removing it would not change what happens in the video.

Call to action

Check out Youssef University, it's the best place to be

The Secret to Scholarships 🤯💰

Transcript

Scholarships, you have to apply to scholarships actively. You know which ones are applicable to you? That's such a good question. So there are a lot of there are a lot of great websites. Obviously, if you want to find a scholarship, check out Youssef University, it's the best place to be. But now, I actually think there there's a lot of great databases. I actually think one of the best databases online for scholarships specifically, I know we hate it, College Board. College Board has such a good resource. It's how I built out my own scholarship database. Has such a good database because you can filter in income, you can filter in grade, the subject, literally some of the most minute things. There are scholarships for everyone. Of course, the ones that get the most publicity and the ones that are often times framed as the most effective are for low-income students because they're just full ride, full ride, full ride. But sometimes you can get these huge, huge amounts. I mean, especially local scholarships. I one would look at these websites that have good databases. If you're not doing an essay in a scholarship, don't do the application. If there's no essay, there's no meat, there's no actual consideration.
