      Praise for The Academic Hustle

      “An insightful guide for students and parents! The author is a product of Morehouse College which instills in graduates a strong ethic of ‘lifting others as we climb’. The Academic Hustle is filled with nuggets of insight and wit from one who succeeded against the odds and aims to inspire others to academic achievement and personal fulfillment.”

      —Dr. Robert M. Franklin, President Emeritus of Morehouse College

      “The 100 Black Men of America, Inc. has mentored thousands of youth to career achievement. Matthew is one of our best. Through The Academic Hustle, he distills the wisdom gained from his national award-winning research on our members and his personal transformation into a manual for excellence in education and beyond.”

      —Al Dotson, Chairman Emeritus, 100 Black Men of

      America, Inc.

      “As a college president, this is the book I have been waiting for! Matthew’s personal transformation, combined with a clear game plan for how students can finance their college education, strikes the perfect balance between inspiration and action.”

      —Dr. Roslyn Clark Artis, President of Benedict College

      “If parents and students follow this game plan, they will not have to worry about money for school or what to do after graduation. The Academic Hustle truly is the ultimate game plan for

      academic achievement.”

      —Mr. David Watkins, Director of Equity and Academic Attainment for Broward Public Schools

      “How to pay for college is the number one obstacle that prohibits too many students with great potential from earning a degree. This guide offers insightful and innovative ideas about how to achieve that goal without amassing massive debt, which will enable young people to focus on what’s most important—building bright futures.”

      —Congresswoman Frederica S. Wilson (D-24 Florida)
