(EMAILWIRE.COM, November 24, 2009 ) Detroit, MI - Joshua Matthews had a dream to attend the University of Michigan. His parents shared this dream, but shuddered at the $25,000 per year cost of attending the university. As Josh threw himself into his senior year of high school, his mom, Monica Matthews, threw herself into learning everything there was to know about helping her son win college scholarships.

Early in Josh’s senior year, his first scholarship application was sent off and the Matthews family felt hopeful. When the rejection letter came, the family felt frustrated, worried, and confused. Josh was a smart, well-rounded student. Why didn't they pick him to win the scholarship money? Mrs. Matthews decided that there must be a way to get her son's scholarship applications to stand out and be noticed by the scholarship judges. She continued to research how to win scholarships and read testimonies from successful scholarship recipients.

After months of research, Josh's next scholarship application was due. Mrs. Matthews came up with a system of applying for scholarships that presented the application in a unique way. She also worked closely with Josh as he filled out his application using every bit of advice she had found while researching successful scholarship recipients. They used this system to apply for as many scholarships as they possibly could, right up until the day he graduated.

The results were amazing! Instead of rejection letters, Josh kept receiving letters of congratulations from various organizations, businesses, and the University of Michigan. He was winning just about all the scholarships that he had applied for using his mom's system. He had won enough money to cover the whole first year of college and had money left over for the following years. One scholarship judge told Mrs. Matthews, "I have never seen a scholarship application packet quite like your son’s. It was amazing!"

As friends and family of the Matthews' found out about Josh's great success with winning scholarships using his mom's method of applying, Mrs. Matthews was told repeatedly that she should publish her method and share it with other students and their parents. As a result, "How to Win College Scholarships" was written and copyrighted.

S. Kraus of Palmerlake, Colorado writes, "'How To Win College Scholarships' was just what I was looking for! My son is going to be a senior this year.
