Webinar: Designing Scholarships for Specific Student Populations: November 7, 2019
The paths students are taking to pursue higher education are more diverse than ever and many need more than financial support to succeed. All scholarship providers, regardless of size and service area, can play a key role in directing resources to help students who need them most. This webinar will help providers define the goal of their program, find the student populations who are in greatest need, and get the latest research on how to smartly design a program that delivers desired outcomes. Participants will learn more about two specific student populations: high need and first generation to attend college. Each of these populations demonstrates higher education readiness in varied ways and has different student support needs.

The United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are made up of 17 aspirational goals that serve as a universal call to action, providing a collective framework to identify areas of common interest and measure shared progress. Within each goal are unique targets, and while Goal 4b within Education is specific to scholarships, a number of the other Global Goals also provide helpful strategies for scholarship funders.
