[quote=Anonymous]Funding for people going to non-profit commuter schools (community colleges, lower-tier state schools) is probably the most bang for the buck/underserved population. That said, it’s hard to have a funding cycle that responds to one-time need unless you partner with a local school(s) who can identify students that are being forced out by circumstances where $2-4K would change whether they could stay in (or come back) to school. The scholarship program I’m involved with provides continuing support (up to 4 years, within a six year period) contingent on FT enrollment (prorated $ for PT) and maintaining a 3.0 GPA. We found that $2K/year didn’t help much, so changed to $4K/year and are seeing better results (GPA/completion rates). You might talk to FA officers at local schools and see where they perceive funding gaps/unmet needs to be. [/quote]
