About |
Who I Am:
My name is Crystal Olivarria. I am a full time blogger making a living sharing my knowledge about how to pay for college with free money. I have first hand knowledge. I raised over $70,000.00 from grants and scholarships to pay for my college tuition at two private colleges. I graduated from Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising in San Francisco, California, in 2004 with an Associates of Arts Degree in fashion design. I graduated from Holy Names University in Oakland, California, in 2006 with a Bachelors of Arts Degree in business management.
What I Do:
I share my knowledge about how to get free money for college by writing blogs, articles, books, workbooks, audio interview programs, guest speaking, coaching and seminars. I help adults understand how to encourage and give guidance to those they care about. I also help students improve their self esteem when they work smart (as opposed to hard) and are awarded funds to pay for their higher education.
Why I Do It:
I know what it is like to want to go to college and not be able to afford it. With the cost of college increasing every year I know more people are questioning their ability to afford the expense. I was able to be awarded so many funds because I applied. I want to pass on what I learned to help others be able to afford school as well.
