Strategic planning, research & analysis of scholarship landscape to help develop foundation’s signature scholarship program.

Greater Texas Foundation engaged Safal to develop a strategic plan for their scholarship program to increase their impact on the educational outcomes of vulnerable youth in Texas. We partnered with FSG and the foundation to conduct extensive research on the scholarship landscape in the state and identify unmet needs. Key accomplishments: (1) Based on our research and the foundation’s vision, developed recommendations for an effective scholarship program, leading to the launch of the foundation’s signature scholarship program; (2) Co-authored a research report “Dollars for Degrees” on the role of aid and scholarships in post-secondary completion.
