Inez Cohen – Director, Fairfax County College Partnership Program

Marianne has been speaking for this organization since 2001.

 

“I have received many positive comments regarding the workshop. I'm sure many of the participants walked away inspired and energized to start their own scholarship search.”   Dawn Sinclair Dixon, Director, Access

 

“My son Marcus was accepted to a private university that cost $15,000 per year in tuition alone. The university did not offer any types of scholarships to him. After learning of this, Marcus and I started preparing and organizing information based on Marianne Ragins’ book, Winning Scholarships for College: An Insider's Guide, and her workshop. Using this information, we were able to get enough scholarship money to pay for his entire tuition bill.”    Francine Robinson, Event Coordinator (Jack & Jill of America - Reston),  Parent, and Workshop Attendee

 

“Great workshop which should encourage the students and their parents to begin their scholarship search and service to the community.”   Counselor - Fairfax Station, Virginia
