Hello, I’m Rockell Bartoli, founder of The Scholar Budget, author and speaker.
I'm dedicated to empowering students to achieve their academic and financial goals. I collaborate closely with schools and organizations to equip students with the skills and mindset needed for success in school, work, and life.
My journey began as a first-generation college graduate, earning degrees in Elementary Education and School Counseling.
Growing up raised by my grandmother and a single mother, I faced numerous challenges and financial hurdles. These experiences have fueled my commitment to helping students avoid the pitfalls of student debt and achieve a debt-free education.
The Scholar Budget is our signature workshop designed to provide practical strategies for students to excel academically and financially. This workshop, alongside resources like my book "Success Habits: A Student’s Guide to Succeeding in School, Work & Life," equips students with actionable steps to navigate their educational journey successfully.
Partnerships
Over the years, I've had the privilege of speaking to thousands of students and delivering empowering messages through keynote addresses and workshops for notable organizations such as TRIO, GEAR UP, The National Student Leadership Conference, and The Carnival Cruise Line Scholarship & Mentoring Program.
“I just want my students to succeed, graduate from college debt-free, and turn their dreams into a reality.”
Sound familiar? Trust me; I get it! The very best educators want nothing more than to see their students succeed.
Partnering with educators, parents and students like you is central to my mission.
Together, we cultivate growth mindsets, financial literacy, and resource utilization among students. Whether through interactive in-person or virtual workshops, I am dedicated to ensuring that every student has the tools and support they need to thrive.
Beyond my professional endeavors, I find joy in family life with my amazing spouse and children, who keep me grounded and inspired. Traveling the world together, enjoying therapeutic trips to Target, and relaxing with a good Netflix series are some of our cherished activities.
