The Academic Hustle is a comprehensive scholarship system that teaches the entire family how to identify perfect-fit scholarships (with less competition), become a competitive candidate for the scholarships identified, and submit an award-winning application tailored to the opportunity. Our private members-only community will help you uncover which part of the process you are experiencing challenges with and provide you with the resources you need to submit winning applications.  

We've had students win a $1,000 scholarship within a month of implementing the system and others who graduated debt-free by implementing The Academic Hustle throughout their college years. The system provides you with insights and resources you can apply based on your needs. 

Parents and students can complete the course in 5 to 10 hours. The most successful families implement the system for an hour or two per week throughout their educational journey. Scheduling family check-ins using our cheat sheets and checklists before each semester and scholarship application leads to the best results. 

We have a video on Raising Competitive Scholarship Candidates that details what you can do with your children from elementary to senior year of high school. Ideally, we recommend families begin seriously implementing The Academic Hustle by junior year of high school and no later. 

The author of The Academic Hustle, Matthew A. Pigatt, started this system after entering college on academic probation and all loans. He secured over $100,000 in scholarships, fellowships, and awards that took him all over the nation and internationally. College students have access to the most scholarships with less competition. 

No! This is a family matter. We encourage both parents and all the children to access the course, community, and resources. All plans are for one family to have access to the community. If both parents and children want their own logins, just email us at info@theacademichustle.com once you purchase. 

The family will have access to the community for one year from the date of purchase, which is more than enough time to access the materials. If, at the end of the year, you realize you want to stay within the community and keep accessing the resources, it is only $147/year.

Earning money takes time. As adults, we know this. The Academic Hustle Scholarship System has cheat sheets and checklists for families to partner, hold each other accountable, and avoid getting overwhelmed. Consistently securing scholarships can be done in as little as 1–2 hours per week.

Some families prefer to work hard and set themselves up in just a few days. For example, holiday breaks or committed weekends are perfect for this. Keep in mind that working 10 hours on a scholarship for $1,000 is still $100 an hour.  Few adults make that much money working full-time. 

That's why we call it a community. You'll be able to ask questions during our weekly scholarship calls, in the clients-only, community or by sending us an email: info@theacademichustle.com. We pride ourselves on being a community of scholarship experts and winners who answer questions.
