Grad Who Earned $200K in Scholarships Starts Business To Help Others

Justin Black and Alexis Lenderman officially launched The Scholarship Expert in December 2019 with the hope of helping all high school students in the U.S. find scholarships for college.

FLINT, MI– Flint native Alexis Lenderman earned more than $200,000 in scholarships as an undergraduate at Western Michigan University.

Growing up in foster care, Lenderman knew she wanted to go to college but had no idea how she was going to pay for it. After a lot of research and applications, she received 10 scholarships her freshman year, with a $10,000 refund.
