Good grades are only the starting point
Your child may be doing well in school, participating in activities, and checking all the boxes.
But scholarship committees are looking beyond the GPA.
The SCHOLAR Score™ shows you how your child measures up — before senior-year deadlines make every decision feel urgent.
- 01
Does this student take initiative?
- 02
Have they made a meaningful contribution?
- 03
Can they demonstrate leadership?
- 04
Have they built relationships with people who can speak to their potential?
- 05
Is there a clear story connecting who they are, what they have done, and where they are going?
Discover what your child’s résumé cannot tell you

The first win is not the scholarship check. It’s finally knowing exactly what to do.
When you complete the quiz, you get a personalized result
One quiz, one result, matched to your child’s current grade — not a generic scholarship checklist.
-

Where your child is already showing scholarship potential.

Which areas need greater attention.
-
Next step
What you should focus on next, based on your child’s current grade and readiness.
Don’t wait until senior year to discover what is missing
Scholarship readiness is not built by submitting hundreds of applications at the last minute.
It develops through the choices your child makes, the experiences they pursue, the relationships they build, and the evidence they create over time.
START EARLY: the more time you have, the more you can help your child become a stronger candidate — without piling on random activities or turning childhood into a résumé-building exercise.

Created by a scholarship strategist with more than a decade of results
Hi, I’m Melissa — mom, educator, author of Scholars Get Dollars, and founder of Capture Greatness!®
I have helped students earn more than $12 million in scholarships, including four Gates Millennium Scholarships, and gain admission to universities including:
- Yale
- UPenn
- Cornell
- Howard
- Morehouse
Through that work, I learned that scholarship success is rarely about finding one magical list. It begins with understanding what makes a student competitive — and intentionally developing the qualities that give colleges and scholarship organizations a reason to invest.
That is why I created the SCHOLAR Score™.
