The Action Plan
Ben Kaplan has helped thousands of students realize their college goals. Now
he has created a 10-day program that not only shows you what to do, but also
gives you the tools, templates, and action plan to actually follow through and
do it.
Each day of this 10-day program features a series of action steps, complete with over 35 worksheets, forms, and ready-to-use templates. Here is the 10 day plan:
Day 1: The Coach explodes some common financial aid myths, then teaches
you the rules of the scholarship game—showing you how to identify the
various elements of your background and record that could qualify you for more
scholarship awards.
Day 2: The Coach helps you devise a winning game plan. You’ll begin by creating
a file and log system and examining the components of top scholarship applications.
Day 3: Develop a comprehensive scholarship search strategy, then learn how
to harvest your school’s resources. Finish up by mining your record for the
types of experiences that serve as the raw material for future scholarship applications.
Day 4: Begin your Internet scholarship database search, then let the Coach
help you locate scholarships based on personal and family affiliations, as well
as awards from government funding sources. Conclude the day by evaluating the
strengths and weaknesses of your record based on an innovative "width"
and "depth" analysis.
Day 5: The Coach helps you expand your Internet database search, tap into
resources of other schools, uncover college-specific scholarships, and then
guides you in brainstorming some key themes for your written scholarship applications.
Day 6: After completing your Internet database search with a powerful action
step, the Coach helps you canvas your community for scholarship prizes, locate
other organizations that fund awards, and come up with ways to build upon your
past accomplishments and shore up your weak areas.
Day 7: Learn how to follow the online “breadcrumb trail” to multiply the
award opportunities that fit your scholarship profile. Then let the Coach help
you identify your priority scholarship programs, scope out "hidden"
judging criteria of top awards, and craft a rough draft of your basic scholarship
essay.
Day 8: The Coach provides hands-on instruction and advice, showing you precisely
how to tailor your application materials for a perfect fit, revise your essay
draft, and identify suitable recommendation writers.
Day 9: After assisting you in acquiring constructive feedback on your essay,
the Coach helps you draft a formatted activity resume, request recommendation
letters, communicate with your letter writers most effectively, and assemble
supplementary scholarship application materials.
Day 10: Learn how to fine-tune your essay and activity list, while the Coach
helps you “package your application” for maximum impact. You'll then finish
up the day by calendaring upcoming scholarship deadlines and learning powerful
ways of recycling materials you've already completed for new applications.
In total, the 10-day program represents a series of proven action steps that get
rapid results--action steps, incidentally, that helped Ben Kaplan win nearly $90,000
in college scholarships and attend Harvard virtually for free!
