Description

NSPA Webinar On-Demand

Scholarship programs are powerful vehicles for improving individual lives and can be a force for community change. Get started on the road to re-designing your foundation’s approach to scholarship management and implement need-based scholarship programs with meaningful outcomes, using equity principles to plan your methods and practices. Understanding data to steer strategies is crucial to making informed decisions about your program’s destination as an equitable scholarship provider. Vital to program transformation is also mapping how to navigate obstacles and opportunities in conversations with key stakeholders. Join this session to learn how to center equity in your work beyond giving scholarship awards to students from low-income backgrounds and being intentional.

Takeaway 1: Using recommended data points to map the process, strengthen the knowledge of all stakeholders regarding the educational landscape and how social and economic inequalities impact student progress and achievement.

Takeaway 2: Engage staff, donors, board members and volunteers in inquiry and conversations that lead to developing shared goals and opportunities for program improvement. Understand elements of the scholarship application, selection and award process that may be unfair or biased in execution.

Takeaway 3: Combine data and inquiry to embed best practices and tailor the program in ways that reflect the unique conditions of the community. Redesign fund offerings for prospective donors, remake application processes, and involve student voice in the feedback loop.

This presentation ranked among the top sessions at the 2023 Conference and we're delighted to offer it virtually to the entire NSPA community.
