ABOUT US

---

PACE Scholarship Academy was founded by Certified Professional School Counselor, Melinda Baker Mihlbauer. Mrs. Mihlbauer has worked with thousands of 6th through 12th grade and college/graduate students for the past fifteen years through comprehensive workshops and one-on-one consulting, in which she personally takes the time to administer at all events. Many of her students have acquired full-ride opportunities and other individual scholarships as a result of Mrs. Mihlbauer's assistance. She has taken it a step further by compiling a collection of local, state and national-level scholarships into one resource that is now available to the public for purchase.

WHO WE ARE

---

Professional Assistance for College-Prep Excellence, LLC

PACE-Scholarship Academy provides comprehensive presentations to assist eighth through twelfth grade students through scholarship preparation, seeking and achievement process. PACE-Scholarship Academy educates students how to effectively utilize their grades, economic status, personal circumstances and extracurricular involvement to establish eligibility enhancers to fill their financial gaps.

PACE-Scholarship Academy offers opportunities for program participants to analyze and study the scholarship achievement process into practical terms. PACE-Scholarship Academy will educate participants that it is not always individuals with the best grade point average or the highest SAT/ACT scores who obtain scholarships. Instead, PACE-Scholarship Academy will work with students and ensure that they thoroughly grasp the concept that most scholarships are awarded to individuals who present the best preparation and organization. By attending a PACE-Scholarship Academy workshop, the student will be well organized and trained to meet the challenges of locating, completing and acquiring scholarships.
​
If a student aspires to understand and get started on the scholarship process, desires to win multiple scholarship awards, or get help beginning or perfecting their scholarship essays, then everyone should participate in at least one PACE-Scholarship Academy workshop. Students should not wait until the spring of their senior year and definitely do not wait until they know which college they want to attend! This program is designed for middle and high school students and educators in every discipline. The most successful scholarship applicants start early!
