Jesse Williams just keeps delivering. The actor / activist has teamed up with an app named Scholly.

The app pairs student directly with available scholarships.

Jesse has joined on the advisory board and is acting as Scholly’s Chief Brand Ambassador.

Williams released a video where he explained that he grew up in a grossly under-resourced public school system.

He said that scholarships gave him access to higher learning institutions.

He said:

“I’m proud to announce that I’m joining the Scholly team in our mutual pursuit to help more young Americans pay for college,” says Williams, “There is no substitute for equal access — there is no substitute for a quality education. Scholly helps us get there, together.”

Jesse was a high school teacher, he saw many fall through the system because of a lack of resources.

CEO and Founder of Sholly, Christopher Gray said of Williams: “He truly understands the plight of those struggling to pay for college and why it’s vital to help them. His passion and educational background will help more students gain access to the funding they need to change their futures.”

This is awesome of Jesse to push so much attention to the cause!
