Scholar Ready’s Founder, Jennifer Ledwith, is a Houston native raised by a single mother with high debts and no child support. She was told several times that her mother made too much money for her to get any financial aid. Jennifer also didn't finish in the top 10% of her high school class, nor did she have the highest SAT scores out of her classmates. However, when she walked across the stage at graduation, she had received so many scholarships that the announcer was still reading them after she was done crossing the stage. Jennifer went on to graduate from college with $1,000 in student loans. (Hey...a girl needs plane tickets.)
She understood from a young age that education and literacy were crucial to success. In 2004 she designed Scholar Ready to give students the help they need to succeed in school and achieve a better life.
And today, she sat down with me for a podcast to talk about the value of literacy - or, rather, the lack of - in today's society.
