    Prepping for Success: Tutoring students online for PSAT, SAT and ACT tests and scholarship opportunities

    Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Jennifer Ledwith.   She has a business degree from the University of Oklahoma.   She is the owner of Scholar Ready, an educational services company. She meets with clients online and her company Scholar Ready tutors Math, conducts personal essay writing workshops, and prepares students for PSAT, SAT, and ACT exams.  Please welcome to Money Making Conversations Master Class Jennifer Ledwith. Talking Points/Questions * 1. Why are HBCUs relevant?Mr. McDonald, in your interview with Stacy Spratt of the United Negro College Fund, you mentioned the number of successful Black professionals who are products of Historically Black Colleges and Universities. Moreover, I’ve seen this success in my family, which hails from Bain Street (yes – that Bain Street in Kashmere Gardens), beginning with my grandfather, an alumnus of Texas College and Texas Southern University. 2. Whether students select an HBCU or a PWI, it’s important for them to have choices. Test scores unlock access to scholarships and academic programs. Often, African Americans are locked out of these opportunities: on average, African Americans score a 908 (out of 1600) on the SAT and a 16 (out of 36) on the ACT. 3. PSAT, SAT, and ACT aren’t for Black kids? Why should we bother?We should bother because of the opportunities for scholarships and the opportunities to improve literacy. 4. When should my child start preparing for college? 5. Understood from a young age that education and literacy were crucial to success.  6. People told her that her mother — a single parent with serious debt and no child support — made too much money for her to get any free money for college. 7. She didn't finish in the top 10% of her high school class (which is academic poison in her home state of Texas). #BEST #STRAW #SHMS See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
