What are Collegiate Partners? Collegiate Partners® are colleges, universities 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 Dollars for Scholars® program. Collegiate Partners institutions make the following commitments relating to undergraduate students: Dollars for Scholars scholarships and other Scholarship America-related scholarships will be used to fill any unmet student need remaining after the institution’s financial aid package has been calculated. When unmet need no longer exists, Dollars for Scholars scholarships and other Scholarship America-related scholarships will be used to adjust the self-help portion of students’ financial aid package, with student loans reduced before work-study. When unmet need and self-help have been eliminated and an overaward remains, the treatment of Dollars for Scholars and Scholarship America-related scholarships may be applied to the student’s financial aid budget at the Institution’s discretion. We encourage each Institution to consider alternatives to displacing institutional need-based grant aid in the event of an overaward, such as supporting the purchase of a computer or reducing health care/dependent care expenses and other viable options, including deferring the award to a later year. Collegiate Partners also provide additional support in many ways. For example, Collegiate Partners may: - provide speakers for Dollars for Scholars affiliate workshops, - host Dollars for Scholars events on their campuses, - support efforts and provide leadership to organize local Dollars for Scholars affiliates. Refer to the listing on Page 105 to view the schools providing this additional support. What are Matching Collegiate Partners Matching Collegiate Partners make further commitments to undergraduate students who have unmet need by agreeing to match (in part or in total) the scholarship awards coming to their campuses from Dollars for Scholars affiliates and/or Scholarship America-managed corporate programs. (Some Matching Collegiate Partners, at their option, provide matching awards even when the student’s need is fully met). These matching funds do not replace previously awarded institutional grants. Matching Collegiate Partner institutions make the following commitments: To match scholarship awards coming from Dollars for Scholars affiliates and/or Scholarship America-related programs with the maximum amount matched per student for each academic year set according to the parameters listed below. If no unmet need exists, no matching funds need to be provided. That matching funds will not replace previously awarded institutional grants (as outlined under Basic Collegiate Partner commitments).
