Bio
Edit

When founder Jennifer Ledwith graduated from college with no student loan debt, she realized the massive amount of college student debt that her friends and classmates took on to get an education. She created Scholar Ready in 2004 to help future students avoid taking on unnecessary student debt. Originally she focused on helping with scholarship essay writing; however, realizing that scholarships are a function of several factors - PSAT scores, ACT scores, SAT scores, GPA, and essays - she expanded Scholar Ready’s services to include math tutoring and test preparation. Jennifer believes that education and literacy skills are the foundation of a successful life and strives to instill those beliefs in her students.
