The Scholarship Academy (TSA) is a comprehensive scholarship preparatory program that teaches low-income, first generation, and other marginalized applicants how to navigate the maze of financial aid in order to fund their higher education.
Our Founder, Jessica Johnson, started The Scholarship Academy in her dorm room at Howard University because she believed every student deserved an opportunity to pursue a debt-free degree. As a recipient of over $200,000, Jessica sought out to design one of the nation’s first curriculum-based scholarship preparatory programs that would address what we consider to be the 3 most pressing barriers to college affordability:
