Creating and growing authentic relationships is the foundation of a strong stewardship program. We often focus our efforts around building these relationships with donors – however it is also critical to engage students in the creation of a true philanthropic community. In this session we’ll seek to reframe the relationship between scholarship donors and student scholarship recipients and discuss ways in which we can engage with students as key members of our institutional communities. Partnering with students in new and more equitable ways not only relives the burden on students who rely on scholarship aid but can be helpful in positioning them as future supporters of your institution.
