Dave Peterson – Quick Bio
Dave The Scholarship Coach is the father of a college sophomore who attends 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.
