Become a Partner
Thank you for your interest in Scholarship America. We are always open to new partnership opportunities. Here is an overview of how our partner selection process works.
We have several opportunities for partnerships:
Promotions
Marketing promotions, or cause-related marketing programs, typically take place during a specific period of time and can be either a one-time promotion or an annual event. Current promotions will be listed on Scholarship America’s website; at the close of the promotion, the organization will be recognized as a Financial Partner in Scholarship America’s annual report, website or both.
In assessing prospective corporate partners, our cause-related marketing team looks for companies with solid brand images and reputations. Whether new or established, any prospect we consider must have a strong corporate mission and be a leader in their community. We expect our corporate partners to raise awareness about and financial resources for Scholarships America. Please note that Scholarship America can not endorse products, promote the sale of products or mandate that our volunteers or staff endorse, purchase or sell any product.
If your company meets these guidelines and would like to discuss a potential cause-related marketing partnership or sponsorship relationship, please contact Scholarship America’s marketing department at jfugate@scholarshipamerica.org.
Community Partnerships
Community partnerships are relationships between Scholarship America and other organizations, that provide non-financial opportunities to strengthen both organizations' abilities to achieve their missions. Community Partners are recognized either in Scholarship America’s annual report, website or both.
Financial Partnerships
Financial Partners are corporations and foundations that donate funds to Scholarship America through cause-related marketing programs, grants, and sponsorships.
All corporate and foundation donors, including promotion partners at the close of the marketing program, are recognized by their annual giving level, either in Scholarship America’s annual report, website or both.
Keeping Dreams Alive
Scholarship America's Dreamkeepers program provides emergency financial assistance to students at community colleges across the country who are faced with unexpected financial crises. These awards -- averaging $500 -- often make the difference between staying in school and dropping out.
Katie Couric Gives Back
All profits from Couric's new book, "The Best Advice I Ever Got," will be donated to Scholarship America, the charity selected by Couric, to further the mission of ensuring education beyond high school for all students.
Our Strategic Plan
2012-2025
Our mission is to make postsecondary education possible for all students; our goal is to assist 750,000 students in completing their education beyond high school by 2025. Our CEO, Lauren Segal, outlines the plan in this video.
