Tired of endless scholarship searches and outdated websites?
Wondering where to find legitimate awards without wasting hours online?
Authored by married couple Gen Tanabe and Kelly Tanabe, The Ultimate Scholarship Book gives families a clear, proven path to real college funding.
You’ll get:
✅ 2,300+ verified scholarships worth $1+ billion — including many awards not easily found through basic online searches (less competition)
✅ Complete eligibility details and deadlines — no outdated or vague listings
✅ Essay templates and interview strategies to help your scholar stand out
Find overlooked scholarships. Apply with confidence. Reduce college costs strategically.
Many students search for scholarships by starting with “What scholarships can I apply for?”
That can lead to endless scrolling through scholarship lists, applying for opportunities they don't really qualify for, and—most importantly—overlooking scholarships that may have been a great fit because they didn't know what to search for.
It’s easy to focus on grades, activities, and awards while overlooking the experiences, interests, responsibilities, connections, and personal qualities that make a student uniquely them.
The Who Am I? Scholarship Questionnaire is a self-guided digital reflection tool designed to help students uncover the details of their lives that can become clues to scholarship opportunities.
✅ Talents, interests, hobbies, and unique qualities
✅ Experiences, accomplishments, activities, leadership, and service
✅ Academic strengths, work, and responsibilities
✅ Community connections and affiliations
✅ Family circumstances and challenges
✅ Career interests and future goals
Because what makes a student different may be exactly what helps them find a scholarship.
A student who only searches for “college scholarships” may never think to search based on a specific talent, responsibility, community connection, career interest, experience, or life circumstance.
After completing the questionnaire, students will turn their self-reflection into scholarship-search keywords—giving them a clearer path to discover opportunities that fit who they are.
Instead of asking:
“What scholarships are out there?”
They can begin asking:
“What scholarships are looking for someone like me?”
Know who you are. Find your keywords. Search with purpose.
3. 30-Minute Consultation — $50

✅ Discuss what’s working for you — and what isn’t

Feeling overwhelmed with deadlines, eligibility rules, and losing track of which scholarships you’ve started or finished? Do you have bookmarks, screenshots, and sticky notes everywhere?
This service gives you a fully customized scholarship strategy spreadsheet, built after you complete an in-depth intake form about your student.
The intake form allows us to understand the student’s academics, identity, activities, goals, financial need, and unique strengths — so the final tracker is accurate, relevant, and tailored.
This is not a generic template. It is a personalized roadmap based on your student’s complete profile.
✅ Centralized Dashboard: A single place to track deadlines, links, eligibility, and submission progress.
✅ Tailored Keyword Bank: Crafted exclusively for your student using their academic focus, identity, activities, and background to uncover niche, low-competition scholarships.
✅ Experience Mapping: A column showing “Relevant Experiences & Evidence” — pulled from the student's resume and intake form — indicating which of their real strengths or actions support each keyword.
✅ Strategic Positioning: A column indicating “Why the Experience Might Attract Scholarship Committees” — helping students leverage both columns when deciding which experiences to include in scholarship essays.
✅ Direct Access to Resources: Links to top scholarship boards and proven search tips to streamline the application process.
Personalized Design: We don’t just hand you a blank template and leave you to figure it out. Every paid tracker is built from your student’s unique profile, using their resume, goals, identity, and background.
Strategic Alignment: We don’t stop at organizing scholarships. We provide strategic alignment, helping you connect your student’s real experiences to the types of scholarships that may be a strong fit.
Focused Effort: We help you save time and avoid wasted effort by focusing on opportunities that fit your student — rather than casting a wide net at every scholarship under the sun.
Missed Opportunities: Missing scholarship opportunities because of disorganization, missed deadlines, or scattered efforts.
Inefficient Applications: Wasting time applying to scholarships that don’t align with your student’s profile or strengths.
Repetitive Work: Rewriting essays from scratch instead of identifying and reusing your student’s most relevant stories and experiences across applications.
