Remarkable Futures Scholarship Program – Scholarship America Facilitators

Abigail Seldin serves as the Chief Growth Officer at Scholarship America, the largest nonprofit administrator of private scholarships in the United States. A Rhodes Scholar and experienced executive, Seldin co-founded and led two technology-driven startups from inception to acquisition. In 2012, Seldin co-founded College Abacus, an edtech company that integrated the financial aid calculators for 4000+ institutions, and led its 2014 acquisition by ECMC Group, one of the nation’s largest student finance organizations. Following the transaction, Seldin served as ECMC’s Vice President of Innovation and Product Development and opened the organization’s Washington, D.C. office.

In 2022, Seldin co-founded the Civic Mapping Initiative, a national research center that identified 5000+ last-mile transit expansion opportunities to support workforce development. Following a competitive bid process led by Seldin, Civic Mapping Initiative was acquired by the National League of Cities in November 2023.
