Reshaping Your Scholarship Program to Increase College Attainment & Educate Donors
January 29 @ 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm
Join Colette Hadley, Senior Director of Consulting Services, National College Attainment Network, for a conversation on how to reshape your scholarship program and educate donors to provide meaningful long-term funding for increasing college attainment.
Most Community Foundation scholarship programs have not made significant operational changes regarding fund design or donor processes in decades. Yet student demographics and the educational ecosystem have experienced big changes in the same period. Does your program have a long history of working with scholarship contributors to create highly selective scholarship funds with specific criteria dictated by donors? Let’s stop this practice, move away from 100% donor-driven scholarship funds, and instead begin to focus on the real needs of students. Take steps to reshape your scholarship program and educate donors to provide meaningful long-term funding for increasing college attainment in your region.
This program is a Zoom meeting on Monday, January 29 at 1 PM EST. This program is free for Philanthropy WV Members and $25 for non-members. Consider becoming a Philanthropy WV member.
