Tiger Academy is the 21st Century Learning Center Community (CCLC) Out of School Time Program for the Hollister (MO) School District focusing on College and Career Readiness in Grades K-12. Upon adding our High School Site nearly two years ago, ScholarPrep Nation was the perfect resource to compliment our mission of preparing students for the next steps beyond high school graduation. We have used ScholarPrep Nation as one of our before school offerings during our Mornings Matter program to help guide students to initiate and continue the portfolio building process. We feel that ScholarPrep Nation is THE resource that can fully compliment what students do with the guidance program during the regular school day as well as what Tiger Academy offers before and after school.

Strafford High has offered the ScholarPrep Nation books for the past three years to our high school students. The books are very helpful in tracking information from year to year, and the format is easy for the students to follow. Students have commented how it makes it easy for them to keep it organized and all in one place. Each section is very useful for understanding the necessary documents and activities needed for a well-rounded and competitive high school resume.

I am a parent and an academic coach, using ScholarPrep Nation materials has greatly enhanced my organizational ability. It is also helps me to increase the value I provide to the young scholars and family members of our mentoring program.

The Freshman classes at Forsyth High School have been provided the ScholarPrep Nation Organizers each of the past three years. These books have proven to be a valuable tool for parents and students alike as they navigate the road towards post-secondary education. The organizers are easy to use, succinct in their instructions, and provide a tangible one-stop-shop for all of the various elements necessary for college admission. I highly recommend this product!

The Boys & Girls Club is using the ScholarPrep Nation books in the Teen Centers in conjunction with our College and Career Readiness curriculum. They are an invaluable resource to keep the students organized as well as well informed about what they need to do to obtain scholarships and be ready for college.

The ScholarPrep Nation books are an outstanding resource for high schoolers and their families. These materials provide students and parents with information that will guide them through the college application process in a systematic manner that is chronological and straight forward. ScholarPrep Nation helps students manage the daily and weekly preparations each student must accomplish to finalize their college applications.

For parents/students who are beginning their college prep journey, the ScholarPrep Nation Organizer is the perfect product needed to help collect and format any college bound student's portfolio for everything they have experienced during their high school years. However, we see the benefits beyond the basics, it's a wonderful way to teach and enhance organizational skills, provide a constant review yearly of what a student has achieved, will need to continue gathering and the convenience of everything available in an organizer vs the shoe box we used for our own years ago. My recommendation as college and scholarship prep coach is...your college prep game plan, should begin with the ScholarPrep Nation Organizer.

The college journey is going so great. I got accepted into my number one choice and confirmed my enrollment. I also was awarded $50,000 scholarship for five years for going to that college. I truly couldn't do it without the help from you and ScholarPrep Nation and with that I'm sincerely thankful.

I was struggling with figuring out what I needed for filling in my college application and worried if I would have everything in on time. This amazing product has helped me keep everything in one place so I won’t have to rush to find the information when it’s needed. Everything happening in and outside the classroom can be all stored in one single book so when it’s time to find what you need, you know where it is. I am forever grateful I got this organizer in my hands at the right time. If you have the opportunity to buy it, don’t think twice. It is definitely worth it! I would proudly pass it on to my brother and sister if they ever consider going to college.
