About Yasmine Arrington

  • Yasmine Arrington Brooks is the Founder and Executive Director of ScholarCHIPS, Inc., a US-based nonprofit organization dedicated to providing college scholarships, mentoring, mental health support, technology, and a robust support network for children of incarcerated parents, empowering them to complete their college education and enter into the careers of their dreams.
  • Growing up with an incarcerated father, Yasmine knew all too well the pain, shame, trauma,
    and emotional and financial burdens that her family situation created.



  • As a junior in high
    school, while researching scholarships she could apply for to afford a college education,
    Yasmine and her grandmother realized that they could not find any niche scholarship-
    mentorship programs specifically dedicated to this often-forgotten population, so she decided to create one herself.


  • Since 2012, ScholarCHIPS has awarded over $700,000 in college scholarships to over 120 scholars, now with 56 college graduates. Since its inception, the program has grown from a regional program to a national program.

  • Barrymore Show. She has been recognized by countless mission-driven organizations and local and national news and entertainment media for her ground-breaking mission. Yasmine is a multifaceted force of nature – also helping people turn their pain into purpose as an author, plus-size model, podcast host and producer, motivational speaker, and social justice advocate.
