This program's mission is to produce 100s of debt free college graduates by sourcing funding alternatives to debt and implementing a scholarship application approach that eliminates the intimidation of the process for students, makes it fun and addictive. Annual cost per RDOG Scholarship Roundtable student - $2,500 (includes food, dedicated space for students, USPS costs, binders, folders, envelopes, notebooks, financial literacy courses and program fee). For only $208 per month you can change a student’s financial future!
Students develop college education funding plans to fund higher education using alternative sources to debt by way of targeted financial literacy simulations and tasks. We assign a College Funding Assistant (CFA) to every 2 enrolled high school juniors and seniors. The CFA serves as the students Executive Assistant specifically as it relates to developing and executing a college funding plan. This plan is centered around scholarships and alternative funding sources that exclude debt.
RDOG SR also hires a high school freshman or sophomore to serve as a Scholarship Research Assistant (SRA). The SRA condenses and simplifies scholarship application requirements and instructions. This step is in place to help relieve the pressure of the scholarship application process for both our CFA and high school juniors and seniors.

This program is focused solely on the elimination of using traditional debt sources as means to fund college education. Our professional staff and volunteers support
- the student,
- their parent(s),
- high school counselor, and/or
- college financial aid advisor
in ensuring that our students cease to neglect opportunities for alternative funding sources, such as scholarships, by implementing a streamlined, disciplined and process oriented accountability system referred to as the RDOG Scholarship Roundtable. Our professional staff and volunteers do not serve in any areas that do not directly impact the reduction and/or elimination of debt credits to students' college financial accounts.
