Unfortunately, the scholarship onlycovers a portion of the amount of money required toattend and Shelbie is trying to raise the rest of themoney to be able to go. The proceeds from themaster class will help her reach her goal and be ableto take advantage of this amazing opportunity!The cost of the class is $10 and it can count as one ofthe required master classes for company members!What a deal!
