About the author
Hannah Rivard is a 2012 graduate of Northwestern College in St. Paul, Minnesota, graduating with a self-designed degree in Entrepreneurial Business. While there, she became known as "that girl with all the scholarships" and soon began speaking about how she funded 100% of her nearly $100,000 college tuition through them. After she spoke at one particularly large event, she had several mothers in tears hugging her, saying how they were now empowered and so encouraged about the prospects for financing their child's higher education. They implored her to keep on speaking about this to others.
And so she has. What started as just sharing her experience with a few people in coffee shops exploded into speaking at college funding organizations, universities, honors programs, and college preview days. It soon became clear that she couldn’t speak to every one of those people personally, however, so this book appeared (well, after a lot of work, it appeared).
It is her mission to never see students unable to attend the college they want nor pursue the dreams they have simply because of a lack of finances. Nothing gives her more joy than empowering students to graduate from college having substantially reduced—or even eliminated—debt, living free from that burden with nothing holding them back.
Thus, the business and accompanying book, “Thousand Dollar Hour”, was born.
An entrepreneur at heart, Hannah also trains liberty and bridleless horses through her business, Cambria Horsemanship, is a professional actress and model, and writes about beauty and spirituality (among other things) in her personal blog, Prayers of Light.
