Reno, Nevada -- March 1, 2024 --Laura Zander, co-founder of Jimmy Beans Wool, recently appeared on Your Daily Scholarship Podcast with Dave The Scholarship Coach of NoDebtCollege.com.
Dave initiated this podcast to coach parents and students on securing scholarships to alleviate the financial burden of attending accredited higher education institutions.
On his website, Dave shares, "Today, my child is a junior in college and has won over $95,000 in college scholarships! We have not paid a dime for tuition, room, board, books, or any college-related expenses. In fact, some of the scholarships paid my student directly, giving him pocket money to enjoy. So many of our friends asked for help finding scholarships, help choosing which scholarships to apply for, help with applications and essays - that I started NoDebtCollege.com."
In this episode, Laura shares vital insights into the qualifications for winning the Beans for Brains Scholarship, along with the company's background and her journey as a student.
Expressing her enthusiasm for the podcast feature, Laura remarked, "I'm incredibly excited to be featured on Dave's podcast because I was a student who was constantly on the hunt for scholarships to help pay my way through school."
"That's also why I started Beans for Brains. Those small niche scholarships helped me get to where I am today. Once I was in a position to do so, I wanted to be able to give back," Laura added.
An additional episode delving further into Laura's experiences as a self-funded student will be accessible on the premium version of Your Daily Scholarship.
To listen to the full episode, tune in on PodBean, Apple Podcast, and Spotify.
Beans for Brains Scholarship applications open on March 1st, 2024, and close on May 1st or when the scholarship receives 300 applications.
