In this episode, Stellic co-founder and CEO Sabih joins Scholarships360’s Will Geiger to discuss how higher education can better support students in planning and navigating their college journeys. As a first-generation college student from Pakistan, Sabih reflects on his own experiences at Carnegie Mellon. He describes how he learned to make decisions in an unstructured system, discovered the value of self-directed learning, and ultimately turned those challenges into the foundation for Stellic.Sabih explains how Stellic began as a personal project to help him plan his courses and became a platform now used by over a million students to personalize their academic pathways, improve advising, and boost student success. He and Will explore how technology can empower both students and universities, helping institutions reduce attrition, support transfers, and plan resources more efficiently.Finally, Sabih offers practical advice for students and families: make a plan (but be ready for it to change), think about outcomes rather than prestige, and embrace college as a space for growth, exploration, and lifelong connections.
