MINNEAPOLIS - September 21, 2021 - (Newswire.com)

Sezzle Inc. (Sezzle or Company), a leader in the Buy Now, Pay Later industry, today announces the winners of the Sezzle National Scholarship Program, available to first-year college students in the US & Canada. For the upcoming fall semester, Sezzle awards a $10,000 scholarship to Sanjana Kasetti, as well as awarding 20 applicants with $500 in Sezzle Spend (redeemable at the 40,000 brands where Sezzle can be used). 

Sezzle focuses on enabling responsible purchasing for shoppers, while building credit status and buying power by acting as a financial co-pilot for users, guiding them on the path to healthy credit. The company financially empowers the next generation and goes beyond finance by supporting initiatives across many facets of users' lives.

Sanjana Kasetti, recipient of the $10,000 scholarship, is an incoming freshman at Cornell University studying computer science. Among hundreds of applicants, Sanjana's essay on her journey pursuing computer sciences was chosen as the winner of the 2021 Scholarship Program.

"It means a lot to be a woman of color in STEM. I hope I can act as an example for younger generations and help inspire them to tackle what has been predominantly male-dominated fields, like STEM. I would like the current landscape to mature into an environment where it is normal for women of color and women, in general, to work and complete higher education in the field of STEM," said Sanjana. "The Sezzle scholarship gives me the financial courage to attend Cornell University without the constant worry of how much I spend towards my academics and necessities," Sanjana continued. 

Recently named the best BNPL App for Students by thebalance.com, Sezzle is determined to aid students in more ways than one. The Sezzle National Scholarship is just one of the company's commitments to education funding--alongside Sezzle's core financing product. The adoption of Sezzle's interest-free solution skyrocketed in the past year as BNPL became the optimal solution for all shoppers--especially those hit by student loans and debt.
