On this episode of The Higher Ed Shift, we are joined by Michelle Mixer, Director of Scholarships, and Kerry Cowen, Student Award Coordinator, at the University of Arizona Foundation.We go deep on the role foundations play when it comes to scholarship management, the priorities they balance, and how they can partner with their colleges and the financial aid office to foster a seamless student experience and increase scholarship utilization.We also highlight the structure that has been built at UofA and how the scholarship office's mission has driven key collaboration and world class outcomes while administering close to 2,300 donor-based scholarships. Michelle and Kerry share how they have managed to keep everyone on the same page in such a large, decentralized environment while still empowering each unit to manage and own their area of the institution.References and Resourceshttps://uair.arizona.edu/content/enrollment https://financialaid.arizona.edu/ https://www.azregents.edu/sites/default/files/reports/financial-aid-report_fy-2020.pdf https://strategicplan.arizona.edu/ Connect with Michelle and KerryConnect with Michelle on LinkedinConnect with Kerry on LinkedinConnect with Amy GlynnFollow Amy on TwitterConnect with Amy on LinkedinWant to be a guest on our podcast?We'd love to have you.
