205: That One Time a University Revoked More Than 60 Full Scholarships (And What You Can Do About It)

The College Essay Guy Podcast: A Practical Guide to College Admissions - A podcast by Ethan Sawyer - Tuesdays

This episode is part one of three on access and equity in the college counseling community. Today we meet Joan Liu, a counselor at a high school in Southeast Asia, who has been working on the front lines of access and equity issues during her career. When over 60 Nepali students suddenly lost their full-tuition scholarships in April of last year, Joan decided to do something about it. That story--and what happened next--is what we discuss on this podcast. This story was picked up by the Washington Post and the Chronicle of Higher Ed. They are seeking help for these students--we’ll let you know at the end how you can get involved. Enjoy.
