Making an Impact! Funding, Supporting, & Connecting Students through Scholarships

This year, our Conference focus is on IMPACT and will feature sessions on program models that make an impact not only on the lives of scholarship recipients, but also on local communities and society as a whole. We would like to explore how we, as scholarship providers, can make the most impact by funding, supporting, and connecting students through our programs.

How do we measure our impact and what outcomes are we striving to achieve?

Our scholarship community has an opportunity to change the world, one student at a time. We already make an impact by providing financial assistance through scholarships, as well as support services for college access and completion.

Can we do more?

This year, we will explore the ways to permanently connect our scholars to each other, to our organizations, to careers, and to service. Lets leverage our relationships to build stronger communities and increase exponentially our impact on society. Join us October 1-3 in Minneapolis to learn how you can making an impact on access to higher education, getting students through college, and connecting students to opportunities for social change and individual success after graduation.
