Sherrod Crum
The Carolina Scholarship attracted senior Sherrod Crum to UNC-Chapel Hill and has helped him focus on his passion for social entrepreneurship that serves underrepresented communities.
He founded the Black Entrepreneurship Initiative after he saw that there were no Black students participating in the Carolina Challenge, UNC-Chapel Hill’s largest business pitching competition. The organization hosts seminars on grant applications and investor pitches, as well as pop-up shopping events for vendors.
