Read an excerpt from a recent winner
“Finance Academy explained how to make a pitch accurately and proficiently. Though becoming an entrepreneur is not a passion of mine, knowing how to professionally persuade someone can come in handy at any time. Thus, practicing and being educated on making a pitch will prepare me for my career as a nuclear physicist. Finance Academy opened my eyes to my true desires, and provided a substantial quantity of information, which will assist myself and others on our journey to discovering ourselves and our passions.”– Zania Lane, Scholarship Winner, Michigan
