What if securing over $200,000 in scholarships was just the beginning of an inspiring journey? Join us as we sit down with Abidemi Awojuyigbe, a Nigerian-born graduate of Prairie View A&M and prize winner of the Black Ambition Contest. Abidemi shares her incredible story of overcoming the financial hurdles international students face, and how her relentless pursuit of scholarships not only funded her education but also ignited her passion for helping others through the creation of the Scholist App.
Moving from the University of Houston to Prairie View A&M University, Abidemi discovered a unique landscape of opportunities specifically designed for students of color. We delve into the innovative programs like HBCUvc and Black Ambition that provide unparalleled support for HBCU students and graduates. Abidemi opens up about how these programs helped her excel in her entrepreneurial journey, and we discuss the strategic advantages that HBCUs offer over less prestigious PWIs, especially in fields like engineering and science.
In our conversation, we explore the game-changing features of the Scholist App, from its snooze function for scholarship reminders to its marketplace for personalized scholarship consultants. Abidemi's dedication to making educational opportunities accessible to all students, including undocumented, non-traditional, and transfer students, is truly inspiring. We also highlight the vibrant culture of innovation and entrepreneurship at HBCUs, particularly at Prairie View A&M University, and how these institutions are nurturing the next generation of successful entrepreneurs. Don't miss out on this empowering episode filled with insights and inspiration!
