Scholarship Starter Kit: 60 Copy Bulk Purchase

$1,019.95

This pack includes 40 copies of The Scholarship Starter Kit at a low bulk-purchase price. (We also have 10-unit and 20-unit packs available.)

For financial and educational professionals, the kits are especially useful as part of your client program or as “giveaways” to draw in prospects and get them to schedule initial consultations.

Designed for parents and their kids, this entertaining one-hour audio workshop—plus seminar notes, sample winning essays, introductory worksheets, and starter scholarship directory—focuses on the nuts and bolts of how to play and win the “college scholarship game.”

Families simply pop the enhanced CD in their stereos or car CD players to listen to the audio workshop, and then insert the disc into their computers to view and print the electronic material.

The kit’s front cover features a space for you to affix your business card, which is held in place by the glossy plastic cover overlay.  This special bulk wholesale pricing is based on the kit's single-copy retail price of $39.95.

Additionally, for professionals who also license our complete Scholarship Seeker’s Toolbox for College Planners and Counselors system, each CD is accompanied by a license to distribute toolbox binder materials to the eventual recipient of the CD.
