$100K+ in Scholarships: Out-of-State Dream Achieved

Their support helped me become a three-time national finalist and prepared me for college admissions at the same time. You can save a tremendous amount of money if you put in the time with their guidance."

I just want to thank God, Victoria, and her seminars. I am paying absolutely nothing for college, plus I will have $1000-$5000 in credit each semester from unissued funds. She was a great help!

High School Senior

I really love the wisdom and motivation Ms. Victoria Lamar shares and instills to her people. I consider her a mentor! She has encourages me to apply to as many scholarships as I can, which I did. Today, as a second year student at Georgia Tech, I have not paid a single dime out of pocket. Thanks for all the techniques you shared with us.

I had a great learning conversation with Victoria and my daughter Jada. Victoria gave so much Information to my daughter in a way that I just couldn’t as a mom. She is kind, authentic, funny, and of course very driven. She also gave us more than an hour of her time and we never felt rushed or like it was some gimmick. She gave us some insider secrets which made us feel special! LOL! Victoria also gave us a connection at Georgetown, where my daughter is going. That alone went above and beyond. I am going to keep in touch and keep her updated on our progress. Thank you, again.

Victoria helped me find scholarships that I can apply for my disability. I never knew there were that many scholarships out there. I won multiple scholarships with Victoria.
