What Our Clients Are Saying!
Bernice “Scholar Mom” Feaster makes a great deal of difference as our family wraps up our daughter’s high school journey helps us navigate preparation and the application process when applying to colleges and universities. True to her Scholar Mom name, she is a tremendous resource when it comes to identifying available scholarships and financial resources to fund next-level educational pursuits. We definitely benefit from her ability in assisting us while coordinating all important dates and to-do along the way. Additionally, Bernice identifies questions and potential roadblocks that could come up along the way. I highly recommend The Scholar Mom to any family with children on the path to college. Do not wait until they are seniors. We did not and the benefits are already paying off. Bernice is a winner!

In my first session with the Scholar Mom, we hit the road running. The opportunities that she has shared are making me a better applicant for scholarships and college enrollment. We began working together this summer, and since then, she has informed me of a plethora of student mentorships and different organizations that give deserving students scholarships. The Scholar Mom helps me work on time management and gives me all the tools needed to succeed. So now I have to do the work. So thank you for making my life easier! Much love!

Mrs. Feaster shared numerous and varied scholarship options with Kurali that he could pursue. In addition, Dr. Feaster provided feedback on Kurali’s essay drafts that helped Kurali fine-tune his ideas during the editing and revision process. Kurali appreciated their support during the process of applying for numerous external scholarships.

It has been a lifesaver working with The Scholar Mom Team. we could not have made it through the process without her wealth of knowledge, guidance, and support. Thanks to her help we were able to secure full scholarships for both of our children. She is now a lifelong mentor to them and us, as well as a good family friend
— Nina M., Parent of a BN Duke Scholar at Duke University, and a Wilson Scholar at Appalachian State University
Thank goodness I was listening to the radio and heard about The Scholar Mom. Contacting her was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. During the consultation, Mrs. Feaster gave advice on the classes my grandson needed in high school that he hadn’t been advised to take. She has given a wealth of needed information to set her students up for success and set the parents up for very little, if any, money out of pocket. Putting the beginning of my grandson’s college journey in the hands of The Scholar Mom and her team is again one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.
— Armanda I., Grandparent
I worked with The Scholar Mom for much of my high school career and cannot imagine where I’d be had I not! She was extremely helpful in finding scholarships tailored to my individual interests, ensuring I gave myself the best chance possible, and preparing me for interviews and how to best advocate for myself. Extremely Grateful for her and her support even after college acceptance!
— Jabari M., Wilson Scholar at Appalachian State University
What would I do without Mrs. Bernice Feaster? She has and continues to help me in a multitude of ways whether it is looking for summer programs or getting me a tutor for my standardized tests. It seems like her reach is limitless when it comes to academia. However, I believe that the biggest impact she has on me is establishing a work ethic that has helped me achieve everything that I have done so far. She is honestly family and has always been there for me throughout the ups and downs. I couldn’t wish for Mrs. Feaster to be more than she already is for me.
— Jacolby R., Scholar at North Carolina A&T State University
I cannot say enough great things about Bernice Feaster and The Scholar Mom Team! Together, they helped our daughter identify the schools that fit her needs and goals best, keep up with college application deadlines, edit and submit essays, and so much more. The emails, texts, and in-person meetings were invaluable. Without their assistance, the application process would have been so much more stressful. I highly recommend The Scholar Mom to any family looking for college application input and assistance!
— Donna J., Parent
Working with Mrs. Feaster, I liken to putting buttercream frosting on a beautiful cake! Walking through the college resourcing process can be daunting to say the least, and as a working parent who doesn’t have a grasp on all of the many admission nuances, Mrs. B. made the process stress free. The college admittance world has changed drastically since I entered my university studies, so I was at a loss on how to assist my teens in this process. Unfortunately, our schools’ staff and counselors are taxed with an overabundance of students and not enough support; Mrs. Bernice was there to fill this gap. We all strive to give our children guidance and direction, yet there are times you just don’t know what you don’t know! Mrs. Bernice brings all the pieces of the puzzle together, providing direction and motivation to secure as many dollars and resources to make your child’s transition to the college arena a smooth and seamless passage!
Mrs. Bernice’s knowledge and navigation skills are invaluable…plus she is just an amazing person to have on your child’s education evolution team!
— Crystal C., Parent of Two Scholar Mom Successful Students
Being introduced to Mrs. Feaster (a.k.a. The Scholar Mom) was a life changing experience for both my daughter and me. I immediately felt that she wanted to see my daughter succeed and wanted to help her achieve her goals. Mrs. Feaster made sure we received all the information for scholarships, workshops, resumes, etc. She made sure that deadlines were being met and stayed in contact with my daughter and was always ready and available for questions. The Scholar Mom is an amazing resource and I know that my daughter wouldn’t have received a full ride to UNC-Chapel Hill without her!!!
— Jamilla P., Parent

— Serena W., Parent
We are finishing up our first year working with Mrs. Feaster the Scholar Mom. I would recommend The Scholar Mom to anyone who is interested in seeking support with navigating the college scholarship process. My son has already won scholarship money as a high school sophomore. Mrs. Feaster understands the process and brings a wealth of knowledge to the table from day one. Our experience so far has been A+. Just make sure you are involved from your end, pay close attention to the provided “To DO Lists”, and I guarantee a rewarding experience.

Where do I even begin….Bernice has been an unbelievable part of my children’s journey to college. She has given them academic and personal support, provided unlimited resources, and constant guidance. Bernice truly invests in the success of her clients and helps parents navigate through the college process. Thank you for being such an instrumental part of my child’s lives.
— Anne M., Parent
I met Mrs. Feaster my sophomore year of high school, and I can honestly say that if I did not meet her, I would not be where I am today. With the help of the Scholar Mom, I was able to stand out on my college application. She presented me with so many opportunities that I would not have found on my own. Most importantly, she helped me apply to many local scholarships that assist me in paying for school. It was her guidance and counseling that led me to where I am today.
— Khamiah A., Scholar at UNC Chapel Hill
The Scholar Mom gave us a broader look at the college application process and helped us apply for scholarships. Her services are great for anyone new to applying to college.
