“The Scholarship Workshop,” presented by Marianne Ragins, author of “ Winning Scholarships for College.” Ragins will give advice on writing resumes and essays for scholarship applications. She will also talk about how to find scholarship organizations and how to use the Internet in your search. Ragins is the author of “Winning Scholarships for College: An Insider’s Guide.” Her book, currently in its third edition, provides scholarship information, but also shares Ragins’ own experiences of earning more than $400,000 in scholarship money. Using scholarships and other free aid, she was able to pay for her bachelor’s degree from Florida A & M University and her M.B.A. from George Washington University. Ragins owns The Scholarship Workshop, LLC, an educational consulting service.
