Scholarship Management Resources
SCHOLARSHIPS MADE EASY
Let us do the administration while you make an impact
Scholarship programs provide essential financial support for today's college students, yet managing an efficient scholarship program is complex and time-consuming.
Set your recipient criteria, and we'll take care of the rest while you focus on achieving your program's strategic goals. Scholarship awards are made unbiased and fairly by our selection committee.
Companies, foundations, and individuals across the country benefit from Scholarship Management Resources' customized scholarship programs. You can design programs to support employees and their dependents or to develop your intern and full-time talent pipeline. Scholarships may also be designed to satisfy the intention of estate trusts and endowments, or to support students with common interests or backgrounds.
