The Path to a Debt Free College Degree!

Empower your students with scholarship-winning strategies through hands-on workshops.

Are you worried about students graduating with crippling student loan debt?

I know, your students have been working SO hard to check all of the college prep boxes….focused on keeping those grades up, studying for the ACT and SAT, excelling in their extra-curricular activities and volunteering their time through community service.

But, there are some things that I wish I would have known as I prepared for college….

  • College comes with its own set of challenges.

  • The financial choices you make now have some big consequences later in life.

  • There are tons of scholarships, money, and resources available, but I have to start preparing to secure them now.

Any of this sound familiar?

Hello! I’m Rockell Bartoli, the founder of The Scholar Budget

As a first-generation college graduate with a Bachelors in Elementary Education and a Masters in School Counseling, I have had the awe-inspiring privilege of working with students of all ages as a teacher, counselor, professor, and professional speaker.

While I am so grateful for my journey (due to my lack of preparation), I had to take out thousands of dollars of student loans; that has been my biggest regret..

Now? I’ve simply turned that pain into a passion-filled career, so your student doesn’t have to experience that loooong dreary, and debt-filled, paycheck to paycheck, too low credit score, barely making it road. 

Whew! What a relief, right? I got you and your scholars! With my proven processes your scholar will have a wealth-building mindset and a clear path to earning a degree with little to no debt.
