Establish Scholarship Program
Do you want to help a particular group of students obtain a higher education by providing scholarships or creating a scholarship program?
Let the IEF create a program for you or support one of the IEF existing scholarship programs. The IEF provides donors with the opportunity to establish the most comprehensive and reliable scholarship programs available without the worry of administrative oversight.
In addition, the IEF programs provide the following services for our premiere donors:
- Identify and target the students they wish to reach and who meet established scholarship criteria
- Manage all selection and administration of scholarships
- Ensure students have the highest chance for success by monitoring their progress regularly and providing excellent support services, such as mentoring, tutoring, and academic advising
- Use best practices in the development and administration of scholarship programs
If you would like to discuss establishing your own scholarship program, please email us or call us at 312-920-9605.
