The Why Behind it All?

Meet the Founder : Lauryn Stallworth

As a freshman, I faced what seemed like an insurmountable challenge: a $50,000 tuition balance for my first semester. The dream of even starting my higher education journey seemed far-fetched at that point. But through determination and countless scholarship applications, that dream became a reality. Today, as a graduating senior, I’m proud to say I will be completing my degree without owing a single dollar out of pocket. What began as a $50,000 barrier to study each semester transformed into a $0 balance.

This journey has taught me the importance of seizing opportunities, the power of resourcefulness, and the value of faith. It’s why I created this platform: to guide others in navigating their scholarship searches, writing compelling essays, and securing the futures they deserve. Together, we can turn what feels unattainable into a story of success—turning challenges into triumphs and, as I like to call it, Getting the Bag.

Those from underserved backgrounds often face many unique challenges while getting their degrees. Let’s work together to alleviate some of them.

"Get The Bag’s services has done a fantastic job at connecting me with scholarships that have done nothing but set me up for the future in the risk management and insurance industry. Lauryn, the founder shared with me the Atlanta Association of Insurance Professionals scholarship, which not only assisted me in paying my tuition but also connected me with industry professionals as a part of the program, which offered for my career. Lauryn also showed me how to be intentional with the theme of my scholarship essays while also being myself."

Gavin L. Undergraduate Senior

"Following the first video call, Get The Bag emailed me a curated document with detailed scholarship information for my career path, including deadlines and application links. Get The Bag has provided thorough reviews of my scholarship essays, and this support has been an invaluable resource in helping me secure multiple scholarships, which have allowed me to fund my education during my junior and senior years. I’m so grateful for this pillar of support!"

Kudakwashe C. Undergraduate Senior

"Get The Bag's founder is an incredible person who truly goes above and beyond to help others. When I was working on an essay for a scholarship on the day it was due, these services were still available. My essays were thoroughly reviewed, and I received valuable suggestions. The founder treated my essays as if they were her own, demonstrating true dedication and care for my success."

Maame A. Undergraduate Sophomore

"Through Get The Bag, I learned about a grant that helps fund students’ expenses for internships in my industry. This scholarship paid for my flight to the internship (which was in a new city), business attire, and part of my first month’s rent. This bit of relief helped me to focus more on starting with strong performance during my internship."

Callia J. Undergraduate Junior

"This organization has connected me with numerous scholarships that closely align with my career aspirations in tech over the past two years. Even in the final moments before deadlines, its services have remained readily available, providing vital support, including essay proofreading."

Alexa J. Undergraduate Senior

"Despite feeling discouraged about scholarships primarily open to underclassmen, the founder of Get the Bag introduced me to new search strategies and encouraged me to apply anyway during my junior year. After submitting a few applications, I was awarded two scholarships that fully covered my senior year's tuition. She reminded me that there's always a chance—you just have to take it."

"Sessions I had with Get the Bag were effective. I left feeling confident and motivated to try my luck at more applications. I also learned the importance of perfecting every aspect of my applications, including selecting the right recommenders, identifying how I align with the mission of the scholarship entity, to making sure each sentence had a genuine essence of myself. Now, I take on a completely new approach to crafting my applications and there is a 90% increase in the quality."
