Educational Service Centers of Indiana Partners with Scrible to Help Indiana Schools Affordably Access its Research and Writing Super App

Published

on

SAN MATEO, Calif., May 23, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Scrible, the super app that streamlines the research and writing process for students and educators, announced today its new partnership with the Educational Service Centers of Indiana (ESC of I) to provide its members access to its platform at a considerable discount.

 

ESC of I is a collaborative of Indiana’s nine individual Education Service Centers (ESCs). Its members consist of the ESCs and the K-12 public school districts they serve. ESC of I implements statewide initiatives beneficial to nearly 50,000 educators and 720,000 students across Indiana’s 92 counties.

Under the partnership, Scrible will provide the fully featured, paid version of Scrible to ESC of I members via the Scrible Edu Pro School Plan, District Plan and ESC Plan at special, discounted pricing. As a result, more Indiana educators and students will be able to use Scrible’s robust platform to advance teaching and learning of the research and writing process.

“Half of America’s secondary students struggle with research skills and aren’t prepared for college writing,” said Victor Karkar, CEO of Scrible. “We’re excited to work with ESC of I to solve this problem. This partnership makes powerful modern tools accessible to Indiana schools to develop the essential digital literacy and communication skills students need for success in college and at work.”

Historically, students, teachers and librarians have used multiple tools throughout the research and writing workflow. Scrible consolidates those tools in one place, streamlining a student’s process of curating, annotating, citing and writing. The platform also enables teachers and librarians to track student progress via real-time analytics and easily access student work and provide timely feedback on it.

“Scrible was vetted by our Partnerships Team for quality, service and return on investment,” said Dr. Christina Hilton, Director of Partnerships for ESC of I. “The team was very impressed with the platform’s ability to help students stay organized throughout the research and writing process. We hope more schools will adopt Scrible into the classroom and see for themselves the impact it can have on their students’ college and career readiness.”

The brand will donate $300K from BFCM sales for creative scholarships with upcoming campaign

COSTA MESA, Calif., Nov. 21, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Z SUPPLY, the fashion house known for its everyday essentials focused on simplicity, comfort and effortless style, is proud to announce the continuation of its Black Friday/Cyber Monday initiative. The company will be donating $300,000 of their online sales from ZSUPPLY.com to the Z SUPPLY Foundation for the fourth year in a row, bringing the total contribution since the launch of the Foundation to $1.2 million.

The Z SUPPLY Foundation’s mission is to create opportunities for the next generation of creatives. They do this by creating an educational initiative dedicated to students pursuing various degrees in the arts. Since its inception in November of 2021, Z SUPPLY has raised over $900,000 for the Foundation, with the majority allocated to its Education Fund, creating 58 scholarships for students pursuing degrees in fashion design, art, and marketing.

 “We are amazed by the generosity of our customers,” said Z SUPPLY President, Mandy Fry. “This holiday season, we’re thrilled to surpass the million dollar mark in money raised for the Z SUPPLY Foundation Education Fund and will continue giving back through scholarships in the creative fields and other forms of service throughout the coming year.”

In the past, Z SUPPLY celebrated this special campaign by visiting the colleges where scholarships have been established to highlight the talented students with a showcase of their work on campus. This year, Z SUPPLY took that a step further by inviting three of the scholarship recipients to the company’s headquarters in Costa Mesa for a special mentorship day on October 2. The students were given an exclusive behind-the-scenes tour of the office, met with the Z SUPPLY team, and engaged in a professional photoshoot and video session in the company’s photo studio. During the experience, they were asked questions about their majors, their creative journeys, and what creativity means to them.

The three scholarship recipients invited to participate were Betty Pham, a Product Design major from Otis College of Art and Design, Melanie Vo, a Graphic Design major from California State University, Long Beach, and Kalen Walthour, a Fashion Design major from the California College of the Arts. It was an inspiring day for the students, offering them valuable insight into the industry and providing an opportunity to connect with mentors who are helping shape the future of design and creativity.

To date, the Z SUPPLY Foundation has partnered with several creative art and design schools through their scholarship program, including Otis College of Art and Design, California College of the Arts, California State University, Long Beach’s School of Art, Parsons School of Design, Kansas City Art Institute, and Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD). The Foundation’s board members will decide the amount of the funds that will be allocated to all six schools for the 2025/2026 academic year. Anyone can participate in supporting these creative scholarship programs simply by shopping at ZSUPPLY.com from Black Friday through Giving Tuesday.
