Join us for our one-hour class on obtaining financial aid for your studies. We'll dispel some common myths about foundation support and discuss:

What you need to know before approaching foundations
The different sources of funding
How to create a personal profile to attract funders
Print and electronic resources that provide information on scholarships from foundations
The application process, including tips on how to make your application successful

Special presentation on January 27!
Following this class on January 27, join us for an interactive, hands-on session in which participants will learn how to develop a map for a personal scholarship search, understand the finer points of outside scholarships, chart where outside scholarships are likely to be found, recognize popular resources for outside funding, and learn how to search uncharted territory for new resources.

In this workshop, you will learn:

How to maximize search results from online scholarship search databases
How to "follow the breadcrumb trail" to find little-known awards in your city and state
How to paint a winning self-portrait in scholarship essays, activity lists, and interviews

Presenter: Kimberly Sellars-Bates, President/CEO of KSTB Enterprises, LLC

She later founded her own company, KSTB Enterprises, an Atlanta-based enterprise with over a decade of experience in corporate, individual, and foundation research and grant writing. Mrs. Sellars-Bates has experience in the art of proposal and grant writing, research methodologies (including scholarship searches), board building and training, and fundraising strategies.
