Nolan’s Notes

Well, thank you everyone for tuning in to my blog! I am pleased to announce the first release of my own e-book on preparing and applying for colleges and scholarships. It’s been my labor of love for the last year or two, and I’ve been waiting for the day to release it for others to benefit from as well. I look forward to hearing your thoughts and comments on it, as well as any additional information you might want to share. Get it at my Colleges & Scholarships page.

I’ve had a great few weeks in Portland since finishing up my year at Carnegie Mellon. More on that later, but I wanted to quickly point out a new section of my website that I’ve added: Colleges & Scholarships. After doing lots of research and filling out quite a few applications in my senior year of high school, I wanted to pass on some of the things that I learned from the whole experience. It’s not quite finished yet, but I’ve included a few links to get you started. Enjoy!

I had an interesting opportunity this morning to be on a Financial Aid Podcast, courtesy of Chris Penn. Click on the picture to look at the podcast, which also talks about some good ways to network using LinkedIn. His scholarship e-book is also a very good article to read. I’ll be adding it to my scholarships page.
