Scholarship Application

Not every business has the resources to invest fully right away. That shouldn’t stop good ideas, nonprofits, or impact-driven leaders from accessing the kind of systems and strategy that can change everything.

That’s why I offer a limited number of scholarships reserved for:

Nonprofits prioritizing service over profit.

Early-stage businesses with innovative potential.

Impact-driven companies that want to grow without sacrificing integrity.

Leaders who’ve been burned by agencies in the past and deserve a chance to see how the right systems actually work.

What a Scholarship Means

A scholarship is not a free ride. It’s a way to remove barriers, not responsibility.

Scholarships typically last one quarter (three months).

They vary based on the organization and needs, sometimes it’s a reduced engagement, sometimes it’s a waived Audit fee, and sometimes it looks like waiving one time build out fees to roll straight into promotion.

The expectation is full participation and commitment. When the barrier is lowered, the responsibility to act rises.

Why They’re Limited

I can’t offer scholarships to everyone. Nonprofits are prioritized, and spots are intentionally few so I can give each recipient the focus they deserve.

If you’re accepted, you’ll know the support you receive is designed to help you prove what’s possible with the right systems in place.
