Direct Connection to Policy Area 3 of The Illinois Commitment Midwestern University (MWU) Need-Based Scholarship Program. Midwestern University What issue or need is addressed by the effective practice? No applicant accepted for a professional educational program at MWU will be denied access for financial reasons. The University has developed unique financial aid programs to assist students, and students can be assured of having a financial aid package that will meet their educational and living expenses. Description of the effective practice: Midwestern University will now offer up to $1,500,000 in financial aid support through the Midwestern University Need-Based Scholarship Program. Incoming and returning students from each of the University’s five colleges will be eligible to receive scholarship funding from this program. Funds will be allocated over a two-year period, with the first $750,000 being awarded to students beginning this summer for the 2006-2007 academic year and the second $750,000 awarded in the 2007-2008 academic year. These non-renewable scholarships in the amount of $1,500 will be awarded to students who demonstrate the most significant financial need as determined by their Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) applications. How does this practice achieve sustainability? The MWU Need-Based Scholarship Program was created through the success of the University’s school-aslender program. The financing of the MWU Need-Based Scholarships is also the result of student participation in the University’s student loan program. What are the results/measurable outcomes? Of our total financial aid recipients (approximately 2,700 students on two campuses), 19% of them were granted a scholarship under this program. The outcome is that 500 students were given $1,500 scholarships, thereby reducing their borrowing needs for the 06/07 academic year. Contact Information Name: Kimberly A. Brown, M.Ed.

Direct Connection to Policy Area 3 of The Illinois Commitment RVC Employee Silent Auction Fundraising Project Rock Valley College What issue or need is addressed by the effective practice? The commitment of the RVC Foundation to raise money to fund the priorities of RVC. Description of the effective practice: In 2004-2005 Rock Valley College had a somewhat unstable internal culture due to change in college leadership. But in 2006, the college culture and processes have been stabilized under the new leadership of College President Jack Becherer. In this environment it seemed appropriate for the Rock Valley College Foundation to re-engage the internal college community in monetarily supporting the priorities of Rock Valley College and at the same time creating an activity to imbibe a renewed enthusiasm and pride in the institution. The RVC Foundation Employee Silent Auction, titled “Celebrating Our Gifts,” kicked-off in February 2006 with over 70 items and/or services donated from generous employees. The planning of this fundraiser/friendraiser began in late summer the previous year. The foundation staff identified an employee group, called the “employee support team” to assist with developing and promoting the “friend-raiser” concept to their colleagues. Foundation staff arranged meetings and scheduled presentations over several months and identified “the package solicitation phase” to encourage employees’ participation. The “employee support team” assisted during the “package solicitation phase” by participating in presentations and encouraging staff when possible. A rough draft auction booklet was created once the Institutional Advancement staff and the “employee support team” identified their package donations. This auction booklet was used to share with employees during the presentations to spark interest and package creativity. The RVC IT staff played an integral part in the success of this auction, by developing a user-friendly online bidding program though our internal college network. After three weeks of encouraging participation though motivational emails and phone calls from the foundation staff, packages were collected, complied and printed into a final draft auction booklet, then distributed to employees campus wide. All items and/or services donated were made available for online bidding with completion on Friday, February 24, 2006. Over 300 bids were received. How does this practice achieve sustainability? To be sustained by future sponsorship of the RVC Foundation What are the results/measurable outcomes? Each year results will be measured by the net proceeds raised. The net profit in excess of $4,500 was deemed a success by the RVC Foundation. In addition, much anecdotal information has come to the Foundation attesting to the positive, uplifting experience the project provided participant. Therefore, the Foundation will sponsor “Celebrating Our Gifts” again in FY07. The $4,569.00 net profit benefits the RVC Foundation in helping to continue to administer student scholarships, faculty/staff grants and other programs, and initiatives that are priorities of Rock Valley College.
