My "Why"

  • Lack of guidance and information when I started my entrepreneurship journey

  • Lack of funds to hire professional help and I was oblivious to accessible resources

  • Spending time and money on teachings without the advertised results

  • Being in environments that didn't allow growth and leadership

What Makes Rich Scholars Different

  • Accountability

    We provide the resource but the learner is in control of the outcome. Rather taking a course or our 8 week program, we never leave curriculum completion open-ended. Eliminating procrastination as an option will increase a learners chances of success. user

  • Learner Evaluations

    Knowing that each person learns differently, we periodically administer individual leaner evaluations to test understanding. This allows us the opportunity to tailor their needs, answer any questions, and make needed improvements.

  • Community

    Once enrolled in a course, full access is granted into our Leaders Circle Community, which provides empowerment, the opportunity to engage with others and the ability to ask questions on demand.

  • Video Guides

    Each module in each course is jam packed with in-course text, visual aids and downloads, as well as instructor-lead videos that help users pull everything together. This gives scholars an in-person experience, virtually.

  • "No Fluff" Curriculum

    We're giving learners ALL the information possible, answering EVERY question, and not crowding lessons with unnecessary information and flattering imagery. Our learners are guaranteed to receive everything they need.

  • Lifelong Skills

    Proper preparation prevents poor performance. Understanding that Entrepreneurship is a marathon, we provide skills and education to utilize now and later in a learners journey.

Scholar Reviews

See what they're saying about Rich Scholars

“Collaborating with my cross-functional team members, completing fashion illustrations, time management skills, being able to think in an entrepreneurial mindset, and presentation skills are just a few crucial skills that I was able to acquire from my internship at Rich Scholars.”

NC State University

Ariel T.

“My internship experience was unforgettable! I really learned a lot about how to run a business as well as proper money management for your business! I learned so much and really enjoyed having the opportunity to work with Ms. Sharia on the HBCU Graphic Tees as a Co designer. If you're thinking about doing this internship, DO IT! It will all be worth it!”

Kent State University

Teylor E.

“Sharia not only advanced the knowledge of my cohort and I on the fashion industry but she gave us resources to someday be our own designers, entrepreneurs, and beyond. Sharia approaches internships as an authentic way to educate her students. She doesn't just give assignment after assignment; she has a curriculum built in with the purpose of teaching us self-sufficiency.”

Rich Scholars

8 Week Program

We believe everyone should be given the opportunity to learn about entrepreneurship. If access to education, funding and resources was easier, professionals would discover that they were meant to be their own bosses all along. Our Rich Scholars® eight-week program was created with the mission to empower emerging entrepreneurs by providing them with instrumental tools that are crucial for success. In other words, we seek to educate with real world experiences beyond the standard textbook readings. 


Rich Scholars® finds purpose in building up leaders, one emerging entrepreneur at a time. Learn why this amazing program should be added to your institution's curriculum HERE.
