Discover How to Engineer Your Young Scholar's Career

Donovan was great to work with! He has a great, encouraging personality and gave me really great tips and insight during my entire scholarship process. In the end, I ended up with an essay I was proud of and took some ideas and tips that I will definitely apply to my future applications!

Donovan was a pleasure to work with! He was very personable, professional, and resourceful. He tailored his recommendations specifically to me. I was pleased to have worked with him and now I feel more confident about approaching scholarships.

I really like the feedback he gave me about scholarships. I thought the responses were helpful and well thought out. It got me excited to work with him because I know that he'll make the scholarship process easier for me. Thank you!!
