Collegiate Partners Benefits
Collegiate Partners get maximum results for a small, simple, easy-to-manage investment. Private-sector aid provides talented students with the means to enroll at Collegiate Partners institutions. Partners also receive publicity through Scholarship America’s regular publications, which reach thousands of high school guidance counselors, students, corporate and foundation executives and community leaders.
Students get more from Collegiate Partner affiliates. Increased private-sector aid provides students with greater access to the schools of their choice, and local chapter support goes far beyond the dollar value of scholarships. Many students say that the most important thing—as they struggle through the first year—is the support of friends and neighbors in their communities.
Finally, those communities also benefit. Collegiate Partners help stimulate interest in, and support for, higher education. Businesses benefit by finding a relevant focal point for their community involvement. With expanded access to higher education, students, their families and their entire communities have reason to believe in a brighter future. Chapter volunteers work hard to raise money for students in the community to ensure that as many students as possible can attend the college of their choice. Collegiate Partner schools work with chapters to assure that chapter awards help students meet the cost of school or reduce loan debt by agreeing to use Dollars for Scholars awards to replace students’ unmet need or self-help.
