The Scholarship System & Debt-Free Degree Lab are online educational programs that teach students how to work towards securing a debt-free education. As part of our mission, we want to help save students $100 million. Part of our efforts includes offering a scholarship for The Scholarship System & Debt-Free Degree Lab course members as well as a separate scholarship for non-course members.

Scholarships are awarded to high school seniors or full-time college students who understand the importance of graduating with as little debt as possible, as well as knowing their own strengths that will help them succeed in college. Three (3) $600 scholarships will be awarded to members of The Scholarship System, one (1) $600 will be awarded to a member of the Debt-Free Degree Lab, and two (2) scholarships will be awarded in an amount of $500 to non-member students.
