Dr. Carjie Scott - Author Talks: You are Accepted: How to Get Accepted into College and Life

Dr. Carjie Scott is known for increasing the number of Black and minority students at colleges. She currently serves as the inaugural digital enrollment director at Tennessee State University, where she streamlined processes, automated admissions decisions, and implemented the latest trends in technology to recruit top students. Since the start of her TSU tenure, she has continually exceeded recruitment expectations. Most recently, she led the team to receive its highest enrollment of first-time freshmen in TSU history. Dr. Carjie Scott published “You are Accepted: How to Get Accepted into College and Life.” It details her commitment to equalizing and maximizing educational opportunities for all students, particularly Black and first-generation students. The book birthed her desire to create an organization enabling her to use all her experience working at trade schools, top-ranked, highly selective universities, and HBCUs. This organization empowers students to be seated in the driver’s seat on their journey into college! Therefore, she founded The Education Equalizer. She does speaking engagements, higher education workshops, and consulting services through this brand. She also founded The Education Equalizer Foundation, a 501c3 non-profit that accepts 20 rising junior and senior mentees annually for assistance with college preparedness. EEF also hosts virtual workshops for middle through high schoolers to prepare them for ACT testing, job readiness, and how to afford college. She is also an Adjunct Professor at Santa Fe College within the Student Leadership and Development department and a Radio Show Host on Power Station 92, which broadcasts live on Saturdays in Greater North Central Florida. She is a member of Greater Bethel AME Church, Jack and Jill of America, and the NAACP.
