Meet Arin Sajwan: Innovating Scholarship Access for Students

At Lehigh Valley Academy Regional Charter School, we take pride in celebrating students who go above and beyond to create positive change in the world. Today, we shine the spotlight on Arin Sajwan, a driven and innovative sophomore who is making waves in the world of entrepreneurship!

Arin is a participant in the Young Entrepreneurs Academy (YEA!) Philadelphia Class of 2025, a prestigious program that nurtures young business minds. Recently, he had the opportunity to take part in the highly anticipated “Ask the CEO” event, where he introduced his groundbreaking business idea—ScholarSwipe.

ScholarSwipe is an AI-driven scholarship search platform designed to help high school and college students find financial aid opportunities that match their needs. Understanding the financial challenges many students face, Arin’s mission is to make scholarships more accessible, especially for those from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.

During the event, Arin had the chance to engage with top industry leaders, including Meredith Tretiak, CEO of RYLA, discussing the barriers students encounter in accessing scholarships. His dedication to bridging this gap has been further strengthened through mentorship from Karun Appapogu and Bimal Mehta of Vanguard, who have provided valuable insights into refining his business.

Arin’s entrepreneurial journey is just beginning, and we couldn’t be more excited to see what he accomplishes next. As he prepares for the YEA! Investor Panel, where young entrepreneurs will pitch their businesses to potential investors, we are cheering him on every step of the way!

Join us in celebrating Arin’s success and his commitment to making education more accessible for students everywhere!
