Description
Procure Funding, Operate a Process & Manage Vulnerable Students’ Needs
More and more college students are facing food and housing insecurity. They are struggling with whether to stay in school or searching for alternatives to meet their financial needs. Research has shown that students who are not able to meet their basic needs, or who experience stress around meeting those needs, are less able to focus on their academic work. Students who are hungry may be unable to be successful in the classroom. If parenting students don’t know where their kids are sleeping at night, their focus is on their housing, not on classes. To retain students, universities have to look at student needs holistically and provide opportunities to address basic needs access.
Systematically support vulnerable populations by procuring grant funding, developing a process and managing vulnerable students’ needs.
Our presenter will discuss the emergency grant process from design to implementation. You’ll explore various strategies for fund seeking – including grant writing, donor relations and advancement, student involvement, day of giving promotions, and state/government funding streams.
Prioritize basic needs and design structures that support basic needs access for all students.
