Brittany Palmer's presentation "Unlock your Future" at our school brought vigor and determination to provide opportunities for our students to obtain scholarships. The presentation helped the students to go from discouragement to having a set of skills that enabled them to experience success in applying for scholarships. Brittany Palmer's presentation has deeply affected how we as a school promote scholastic achievement and our methods of rewarding them for these achievements.

Brittany presented to a group of high school students at our conference, and they were enthralled by what she had to say. The students were immediately fishing for paper and pens; to make note of all of Brittany's excellent suggestions and to ensure they were doing all they could to apply for and win scholarships. I would highly recommend Brittany as a speaker-she is very enthusiastic and well-spoken. Brittany had us all sitting on the edge of our seats!

Thanks again for the consultation. Taylore and I both got a lot out of the session. I can't believe that by the end of the day she was on her way with a rough draft essay! I can guarantee you that Taylore will work hard at getting this going. Thanks for helping out, I think you have done a wonderful job.

On behalf of my daughter and I, we just wanted to thank you for our wonderful presentation on "Unlock your Future-The Key to Scholarships" last night at Carson Graham. Your information is invaluable and I loved that part you shared about your "mom nagging you constantly" to fill out the scholarship applications...it was humourous yet very real! Your tips and suggestions about putting together a very detailed portfolio were helpful and we look forward to seeking out and diligently pursuing the scholarship application process...I am so pleased that you've done well and that you are now sharing this knowledge with parents and students. I feel that this knowledge of the scholarship process is very important and that the schools do need to help communicate this more specifically to their students so that they are better prepared earlier on...Communications appears to be a perfect direction for you to pursue and we wish you all the best in the future as you inspire many more students and parents!

                                                                                                                                                                                 I just wanted to thank you for a great presentation. I attended your talk the first time you came to RCS two years ago even though my oldest child was only in gr. 10 then. I had always remembered what you'd talked about and was so glad to hear you speak again.  This time I found the information you had to share was even more specific regarding how to apply, etc.  The handout you gave out was excellent and I made extra notes.Hearing your presentation a second time, and now looking at the more specific information you gave out, my daughter is really keen to pursue this and I think it will definitely be a Xmas Holiday project here at home this year. PS -- you're a very good speaker, you speak very naturally and honestly

I want to thank you again for your visit to our school. I've never seen the students so attentive. You gave us much useful information and inspiration to go forth and prosper! I was inspired myself since I will be seeking funding for a doctorate, you gave me a good boost!

I just wanted to thank you for coming to Mouat tonight- it helped me SO much. I'm looking at every possible scholarship right now.. Your info definitely got me thinking about what I need to organize and to just put myself out there. Thank you so much!
