A 22-year-old woman who struggled to pay for her education eventually succeeds and receives a $2 million scholarship to a US university.
After struggling to pay for her education, 22-year-old Gabriella Carter has finally won $2 million to attend a different university in the United States.
Entrepreneur Gabriella Carter, who was born in Jamaica, moved to Florida with her family when she was just 13 years old. As soon as they arrived in the United States, she was enrolled at Miramar High School.
Gabriella played softball and actively ran on the track during her high school years, combining her outstanding academic achievement with athletics. She graduated from high school with a cumulative grade point average of 5.00.
Gabriella claimed that although she had always wanted to continue her education as soon as she graduated from high school, the expense of college was prohibitive and she did not want to become one of the many individuals who are saddled with student loan debt.
She was so inspired by this circumstance to begin looking for and applying for student scholarships prior to her high school graduation.
“I jumped on it and applied to every opportunity that I saw once I realized that there was free money out there that other people could give to me because they believed in me and my dreams so that I could go to school for free,” she added.
Despite how exhausting the application process was, Gabriella claimed to have applied to more than 100 programs and took sure to improve her applications.

She said, “I was able to submit better applications and eventually have more success down the line the more scholarships I applied to.”
Before receiving a Coca-Cola check for $20,000, Gabriella said she had 30 scholarship applications denied in a row. She also claimed to have received 35 scholarships throughout high school and college, totaling over $2 million in cash, one of which covered all of her tuition and allowed her to graduate debt-free. Gabriella continued her education at Princeton University in the United States, earning a bachelor’s degree in Medical Anthropology with honors.
Her success in the scholarship sector sparked curiosity among her school’s pupils, who contacted her to ask questions about how to apply for and receive scholarships. According to Gabriella, all of this led her to start her own company, “Growing with Gabby,” and totally commit to scholarships.
“People were really interested in how I was able to have scholarship success, so I had to get up at least 20 times to pick up my various awards at our scholarship banquet at my high school,” she added.
“Growing with Gabby” began offline before going digital, according to Gabriella. She claimed that after using social media to address some of the queries posed by her high school classmates, she quickly expanded her audience.
She created the Growing with Gabby brand when she was at Princeton and expanded her Instagram following a company’s request for her influence.
“Until I was approached by a major retailer with an opportunity and they paid me $2,500 to share about a scholarship opportunity that they had says, I didn’t even know people were making money like that from posting online.” Gabriella said, “Once that happened, I was like, ‘OK, I see the value in the information that I’m offering.
Gabriela claimed that after graduating from Princeton University, she was hired as a marketing analyst and made $90,000 annually. But a year later, she left the 9–6 job to concentrate on expanding her business.
Gabriella claims that she made $177,000 in 2022 from her scholarship company and anticipates making close to $300,000 this year.
