Resolve Solutions

What Resolve Solutions does

Resolve Solutions Incorporated is a Virginia-based nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization founded in 2018 (operational since 2019) by retired U.S. Army Major E. Sean Lanier to help underrepresented high school students access ROTC scholarships, gain college admission, and pursue military or public service careers. The organization identifies high-achieving students — many from underserved communities — through partnerships with high school counselors, JROTC instructors, coaches, and community organizations across 23 states, then provides individualized mentorship and guidance through the scholarship application and college-selection process. Since inception it has supported more than 530 students and helped secure over $43 million in ROTC scholarships and awards at institutions including VMI, Georgia Tech, Norfolk State, Hampton, Morgan State, Tuskegee, BYU, and Ohio State.

The organization delivers its impact through four integrated service pillars: College Preparation Assistance (matching students to best-fit colleges), Student Mentoring (ongoing guidance through training and education), Bridge Programs (summer programs for academic confidence and campus familiarization), and Internships & Careers (leadership training and connections to professional networks such as NSBE, AABE, NDPA, BEYA, NOBCChE, SWE, and SHPE). There is no proprietary technology platform; services are delivered through direct human engagement, supplemented by content on the website, LinkedIn, YouTube, Facebook, and podcast appearances.

Resolve Solutions is funded entirely through charitable donations and grants, accepted via Network for Good and the Combined Federal Campaign (CFC #41657, EIN 83-0948624). Services are provided free of charge to students. The organization operates with 1-10 employees from its Alexandria, Virginia headquarters (P.O. Box 11954) and has earned the 2026 Distinguished Service Award from the Northern Virginia Chamber of Commerce and a 2024 Commonwealth Fellowship for its founder at UVA Darden's Executive Program (TEP '25). It is not affiliated with the Department of Defense and has no parent company, venture capital, or private equity backing.
