Are You a Busy Parent of a College-Bound Teen Who Wants To Secure a Top-Tier Education—Without Massive Debt?


So was I!

My name is Treasure Shields Redmond, and I am known as the “#DebtFreeDegree Expert.” I developed a #DebtFreeDegree Blueprint that netted my son $164,000.00 in scholarships!

And I didn’t just help my son, I helped these families, too!

What Motivates Me?

Raised in Mississippi’s  Federal housing projects, I had a loving home headed by my grandmother who took care of the house from her wages as a maid and which included my mother, who, though she was physically present and loving, struggled with mental illness and was unable to work full-time.

As you can see, even though I am NOW someone who now helps college-bound families get their kid into college and do it debt-free, my childhood home was not a place where the knowledge or execution regarding college was present.
Luckily, the village was in action, and a group of caring women who were alumni members of an African American sorority, gave me a $500 book scholarship during my senior year of high school. I took that book scholarship and what I was able to qualify for from the FAFSA  and attended Jackson State University. I left with a bachelors degree, a teaching certification, and pretty substantial college loan debt.
During the 20 years of teaching that followed, first as a high school English teacher, and later as an assistant professor of English at the university level, I began to see the same patterns from my life replicated in the lives of so many college bound families I served.
I saw families with a vision for health, prosperity, and safety, for their college bound teens, but no idea where to start finding scholarships or applying for them. They were even missing out on the free funds they qualified for via the FAFSA, because of common mistakes like waiting too late to complete it. Time and time again, I watched kids enroll in schools with no real plans except to take out the maximum allowed in loans and think about the rest later.
My business started when I became one of the caring women, like the group of women who helped when I was just a teenager in Mississippi. I began to pull students aside, to help them write their college entrance essays and scholarship application essays. I began to sit down with them and help them navigate the confusing world of financial aid.

Our families need EXPERT help, PERSONALIZED to our needs, so we can get the PRICELESS results that being matched with the RIGHT COLLEGE provides. Even more than that, we need someone to PULL BACK THE CURTAIN on scholarships and walk us through how to get them.

How Can “The #DebtFreeDegree Expert” Help You?

I provide the clear path in the HOW TO FIND SCHOLARSHIPS PARENT ACADEMY. This is a community where I have put trainings, videos, printables and courses designed to show busy parents of college bound teens how to find scholarships, help their child write a gripping college entrance essay, navigate financial aid and more.
