“After winning $350K+ in scholarships and $1M+ in institutional aid, I’m here to help you do the same”

Sierra Perosa

Sierra Perosa

Scholarship coach featured by The Wall Street Journal, helping students secure $350K+ in scholarships and $1M+ in aid.

When I started my own college journey, I was overwhelmed by the cost and the maze of financial aid options. I knew I couldn’t afford to take on massive student debt, so I became determined to find every possible scholarship, grant, and funding opportunity out there. Through years of research, trial and error, and relentless effort, I was able to win over $350,000 in scholarships and more than a million dollars in institutional aid from various universities.

My story was even featured on the front page of The Wall Street Journal, and I was invited to share my journey on their Personal Finance podcast. You can read the article here: https://www.wsj.com/personal-finance/college-tuition-nyu-saving-money-41b3e716?st=EQn4vX

For the past five years, I’ve coached students online, helping them navigate the complex world of scholarships and financial aid. I’ve seen firsthand how the right guidance can open doors for students from every background and financial need level.

I built this app to make the process easier, more accessible, and less intimidating for everyone. Inside, you’ll find step-by-step modules on everything from financial aid negotiation to alumni outreach, plus a virtual assistant to answer your questions along the way. My hope is that this app empowers you to take control of your college funding journey and achieve your educational dreams—without the burden of overwhelming debt.
