Dave Peterson – Quick Bio
Dave The Scholarship Coach is the father of a college Sophomore that is attending college completely free, thanks mostly to private outside scholarships.
Using the same methodology that he developed for his son, Dave now coaches other students and families to achieve their own debt-free college dreams.
Dave is also the author of "Debt-Free College: Proven Strategies for Winning Scholarships and Other Tools to Help You Avoid Student Loan Debt" and the founder of NoDebtCollege.com.
Dave’s Mission & Purpose
“To help kids graduate from college debt free… and help parents not drain their life savings.”
Three Types of Scholarships
· Need-based
· Merit-based (academic, athletic, artistic)
· Private outside scholarships (what Dave specializes in)

One of the goals of this program is to get at least 100 people within the Tom Woods orbit on the podcast. “Tom’s orbit” is loosely defined, but we have less than 90 to go now!
