Rockell Bartoli

Rockell Bartoli is the founder of The Scholar Budget, author and speaker. She is dedicated to empowering students to achieve their academic and financial goals, collaborating closely with schools and organizations to equip students with the skills and mindset needed for success in school, work, and life.

Bartoli's journey began as a first-generation college graduate, earning degrees in Elementary Education and School Counseling. Growing up raised by her grandmother and a single mother, she faced numerous challenges and financial hurdles. These experiences have fueled her commitment to helping students avoid the pitfalls of student debt and achieve a debt-free education.

The Scholar Budget is her signature workshop designed to provide practical strategies for students to excel academically and financially. This workshop, alongside resources like her book "Success Habits: A Student’s Guide to Succeeding in School, Work & Life," equips students with actionable steps to navigate their educational journey successfully.

Over the years, Bartoli has spoken to thousands of students and delivered empowering messages through keynote addresses and workshops for notable organizations such as TRIO, GEAR UP, The National Student Leadership Conference, and The Carnival Cruise Line Scholarship & Mentoring Program.
