What’s the difference between Scholarships and Grants?

Scholarships are usually based on a student’s academic, sports, and social achievement (grades, test scores, community service, talent, leadership, etc.), and may also be called Merit Awards. Grants are based on the financial need of a student. Both Scholarships and Grants are “free money”, that is, you do not pay it back after you spend it. Scholarships are less predictable than grants since they are based on a subjective evaluation process, while grants are based on financial need formulas at each college in the country.

EPR will show you how to position yourself for the most grant money.

Our Company Mission

Help parents with the funding of their children’s education from grade school through college, placing a greater emphasis on knowledge-based solutions, reducing student and parent loans, while positively impacting your retirement.

We want to provide parents with a custom strategy instead of a “one-size fits all product solution.”

The Philosophy

At EPR, we believe every student deserves a chance to obtain an education at the college that fits his or her goals, without sacrificing the choice due to cost. We believe that families should not sacrifice their retirement or lifestyle because of uncontrollable levels of debt, and they should be able to enjoy sufficient income throughout their lifetime.
