The Scholarship Plug

The Scholarship Plug, initially a nickname for its founder in 2008, has evolved into a vital community-driven initiative. 

Founded by Mrs. Shedly Casseus Parnther, a renowned College & Scholarship Advisor, the brand addresses the steep decline in undergraduate enrollment, particularly among first and second generation students with academic promise and “will”. 

Recognizing the pressing need for college and scholarship planning, the Scholarship Plug emphasizes early engagement, ideally starting in 9th grade. The organization supports high schools and provides resources for college and scholarship planning, which are crucial for students' future success. With limited resources and high student-to-counselor ratios, many students who have a desire to continue their education lose hope, claiming that “college is not for them” and often miss out on scholarship and admissions opportunities. 

The Scholarship Plug is driven by a commitment to transform lives, ensuring that students receive essential skills and support their post-secondary goals.
