Collegiate Partners are colleges, universities, technical schools, and other accredited postsecondary institutions that demonstrate their commitment to the development of private sector student aid by supporting the mission of Scholarship America and its volunteer-operated Dollars for Scholars® community scholarship foundations. All Collegiate Partner institutions have made commitments that Scholarship America-related scholarships will be used first to fill any unmet need remaining after the institution’s initial financial aid package has been calculated. If no unmet need exists, Collegiate Partners have further agreed that the first $2,500 in Scholarship America-related scholarship will not be used to reduce institutional grant assistance.
Matching Partners—marked here with an asterisk—are Collegiate Partners that make further commitments to students who have unmet need by agreeing to match scholarship awards coming to their campuses from Dollars for Scholars community scholarship foundations and other Scholarship America-managed corporate scholarship programs. These matching funds represent resources dedicated exclusively for this purpose and do not replace previously awarded institutional grants. A number of Matching Partners, at their option, provide matching awards even when the student’s need has been met.
The 2007 National Collegiate Partners Directory, listing all of our affiliated institutions, is available on Scholarship America's Publications Page.
