Topic: Measuring Impact & Success
How do we know scholarship programs are making a difference – and how do we tell that story? In this peer event, scholarship professionals will explore practical ways to measure impact and success beyond dollars awarded. In peer discussion, we will discuss how to track and understand long-term impact of scholarship programs on students and communities.
Participants will share what they are measuring, what has been most useful, and where challenges still exist. Whether you are just starting to think about impact measurement or looking to strengthen your current approach, this peer conversation will offer ideas, tools, and inspiration to adapt to your own program.
Virtual Book Club [Hosted after the Peer Event]
In 2026, we are launching a new virtual book club! We will be reading and discussing “Understanding the Phenomenon: A Qualitative Investigation of the McConnell Scholars Program.” The Book Club will be hosted on Feb 17, March 17, and April 14.
