Keynote Speeches & Motivational Workshops

Our most popular seminars are the Scholarship Workshop presentation, a one, two or three hour interactive workshop; and the Scholarship Workshop Weekend, a full day and a half of activities designed to help students and parents leave the weekend with scholarship essays, résumés, and applications completed and ready to go. The Scholarship Workshop presentation and the Scholarship Workshop Weekend are both interactive seminars designed to help students conduct a successful scholarship search from the research involved in finding scholarship money to writing scholarship essays, scholarship interview tips and strategies involved in winning them.

For nearly two decades, motivational keynote speaker Marianne Ragins has been giving the very interactive Scholarship Workshop seminar to thousands of students, parents and educators throughout the country to provide scholarship search help for students nationwide.
