Kevin's brief biography and reason for offering these scholarships:
Kevin Jerome Gormley, a graduate student at the University of Virginia, has tutored individuals for the SAT and has given SAT preparation talks to groups of high school students as a volunteer for Reach for Tomorrow. He believes that any student can improve his/her score with a good game plan, discipline and hard work.
Kevin Gormley scored a 540 on a practice verbal section and was very frustrated. Instead of feeling dumb or average, he decided to study creatively. After taking 5 full SAT practice tests and memorizing 200+ vocabulary words by singing the words and definitions of "Up Your Score", he scored a 740 (800 re-centered) on a real verbal SAT. He achieved a 200 point increase with only about 40 hours of effort.
He later earned a 730 or 99th percentile on the verbal GRE because he still remembered the words from 5 years earlier. Kevin believes that if you can memorize your favorite rap or song, then you can memorize a song with SAT words and greatly increase your score. Regardless of your skin color, gender or previous low score, you can do much better at the SAT or anything if you give it your full mental effort. You do not need "good luck," you simply need creative studying and practice. Start being more confident and dream bigger dreams.
