Partner Summit A meeting of minds. A community of practice.

Our discussions going forward will carry forth what we learned from these panels and presentations:

• Student Panel: Cultural, Financial and Social Support – Facilitated by Scholarship America Product Manager Amy Ronnkvist, this panel will feature students from all walks of life discussing the importance of mentoring, coaching and other support systems beyond the scholarship check.
• Detroit Regional Dollars for Scholars – Detroit Regional Dollars for Scholars is highly engaged in students’ lives well before high school graduation, preparing them for college success. The chapter helps students choose the best college fit, gives test prep and FAFSA workshops, offers etiquette training and more.
• Chick-fil-A Foundation Remarkable Futures – Chick-fil-A involves team members at every level, engaging store managers and leaders as mentors for scholarship recipients and giving scholarships to employees of all ages and stages of earning a degree or certificate.
• Coca-Cola Scholars Foundation – Coca-Cola Scholars Foundation has developed a robust alumni pipeline, based on the principle of “Once a Coca-Cola Scholar, always a Coca-Cola Scholar.” Scholars join a family of 6,150+ alumni who are leading positive change in their communities and around the world.
• Ask an Alumnus – Don’t have an alumni pipeline? Here’s your chance to ask recent scholarship recipients and graduates about what made the biggest difference in their success and what else scholarship providers could do that would be helpful to students.
