Story Behind The Scholarship System

Hey there and welcome to The Scholarship System which is all about paying for college. I started The Scholarship System to share my own experience of graduating college with zero student loans. Not only was I able to get my entire college experience paid for including 6 months living abroad (in Spain), but I received a cash check each semester for any additional expenses.

Jocelyn Pearson, Founder

While my parents wanted to help, they couldn't afford college for the 5 of us (yes, oldest of 5 here!) So college was on us, completely. This inspired my scholarship search in the first place. In the end, I graduated from the #1 International Business program in the country, the Darla Moore School of Business. I then joined a global conglomerate as a financial analyst, leaving that job after a few years to pursue The Scholarship System full-time.

Because of having scholarships to pay for nearly everything, and finding ways to reduce my expenses in college, I was able to save most of what I made with part-time jobs in college and graduate debt-free. Within 2 months of graduating college, I bought my first property. Within 6 months, I paid off my car.  Also, because of graduating debt-free, I was able to save money, versus living paycheck to paycheck.

Now I don’t share my experience to brag. I share it to inspire. My goal in life is to share my strategies with as many high school and college students as possible so that they, too, can get their college experience paid for, minimizing their student loans. Through The Scholarship System, we do this by teaming up with parents who are also passionate about their children avoiding the student loan debt crisis while still being able to pursue their dreams.

To date, The Scholarship System has saved families $9.3 Million through our online course. I plan on surpassing $10 million in savings this next school year and hope to see this number continue to grow!

Today, I am now fortunate enough to focus on The Scholarship System full-time and spend my free time with my loving husband, Donny, and all of our rescue animals.
