🛑 LIVE 60-MIN WORKSHOP FOR COLLEGE BOUND STEM STUDENTS
How STEM Families Are Paying for College Without Taking Out Parent Loans
The simple system STEM students are using to win scholarships before senior year, without spending hours on Google.
I won $317,000 in scholarships and earned 3 STEM degrees debt-free. Join me live, bring your student, and I'll show you both where the money is and how to win it.
SAVE OUR SEAT FOR THIS WORKSHOPI Believe No STEM Student Should Have to Pay for College. Here's Why.
America needs more scientists, engineers, coders, and AI builders than it is producing. So the government, the military, NASA, and industry groups are paying students to study STEM. Most families just never hear about it.
🛡 Department of Defense SMART Scholarship
Full tuition plus a $30,000 to $46,000 yearly stipend, summer internships, and a job after graduation. High school seniors can apply through the Dellums SMART Scholarship.
🚀 NASA Space Grant
Programs in all 50 states, plus D.C. and Puerto Rico, that have helped more than 12,000 students pay for science and engineering degrees. Your state has one right now.
🔬 National Science Foundation (S-STEM)
Colleges across the country receive NSF grants to give talented STEM students with financial need up to $15,000 a year. Your student’s future college may already have this money set aside.
⚙️ Professional Societies
The Society of Women Engineers alone awarded 328 scholarships worth nearly $1.5 million for the 2024-2025 school year. There are dozens more societies for engineers, coders, chemists, and future doctors.

The money is there. Most families just don't have a system for finding it, applying for it, and winning it. That's what I teach every week.
SAVE OUR SEAT FOR THIS WORKSHOPIn 60 Minutes, I'll Show You and Your Student How To:
Live, step by step, with time for your questions.
❶ Locate the STEM scholarships most families never hear about: federal, NASA, military, industry, and the ones hiding at your student's future college.
❷ Stand out by turning your student's robotics team, coding project, science fair, or AI side project into scholarship-winning proof.
❸ Land the money with essays that sound like a future scientist or engineer, not a generic applicant.
❹ Lock down a plan so you know what to do this month, this semester, and senior year, with FAFSA and deadlines lined up.
❺ Avoid the three mistakes that cost STEM families the most money, including waiting until senior year to start.
Hi, I'm Kantis Simmons. I Was the STEM Kid Who Couldn't Afford College.
I grew up in a working-class family. I loved science, but I had no idea how we'd pay for college. So I treated scholarships like a science experiment: research, test, apply, repeat.
It worked. I won over $317,000 in scholarships and fellowships and earned three STEM degrees completely debt-free. Then I went to work as a NASA scientist.
$317K+in scholarships won
3 STEM degrees, debt-free
$1.7M+secured for families
Today I'm a STEM education speaker and author. I wrote Scholarship Secrets Revealed and built Scholarship Success Academy to hand families the same system I used.
Every week, I open my Launch Lab and walk new families through it live. I'd love for you and your student to be in the next one.

Real families. Real college money.
"Kantis Helped Us Find $35,000 in 7 Weeks"
"Before working with Kantis, we had no clue how to fund our daughter’s education. Thanks to his advice, we secured $35,000 in 7 weeks, and we're on track to hit $49,000! Truly a game changer."
- Mr. LaBelle (Hudson Falls, NY)
"Just Listen to Kantis, and follow his advice!"
"My son and I attended his workshops and followed his instructions down to the T. We came up with $40,000 for his first year of school."
- The Randles (Hopewell, VA)
"This Is Eye-Opening!"
I had a chance to settle my fears by taking a deep dive into all of the options for my high school sophomore.
— K. Lloyd, Mom of HS Student, Beltsville, MD

This Workshop Is for You If…
✓ Your student is in 9th through 12th grade and leans toward science, tech, engineering, math, health sciences, or AI.
✓ You're a parent who wants to fund college without loans or a second mortgage.
✓ You're a student who wants to own your college funding plan, not hand it all to your parents.
✓ You've Googled "STEM scholarships," got 400 results, and didn't know where to start.
It's probably not for you if you're looking for a magic button. Scholarships take work. I'll show you exactly which work pays off.
🎁 Live-Attendee Bonus:
The STEM Scholarship Hit List
Show up live and I'll send you 25 national STEM scholarships with their deadlines, award amounts, and the grade your student can start applying. You only get it if you stay to the end.
