The Student Affairs Collective strives to provide a peer-to-peer community where students and professionals can connect. Over the past few weeks, the leadership team has been evaluating multiple applications for our #SAGrad Scholarship. In the spirit of giving back, this scholarship was established to help send Student Affairs Graduate Students to conferences that they could otherwise not afford.
We thank each applicant for applying for this opportunity, we had an outstanding pool of folks to choose from. We also appreciate the time and energy everyone put into their application. After careful consideration, the recipients are (drumroll please)….
Congrats to the both of you!

The Student Affairs Collective team is so excited to see what great experiences you both will have attending a student affairs conference. It is times like this where we really see how important it is to move rising professionals forward in the field of Student Affairs. Our role here at the Student Affairs Collective is to make a positive impact through peer-to-peer learning, and with the continued support from #SAPros and #SAGrads, we are able to do just that.
We would like to say thank you to the SAC leadership team members who voted on the winners, to all of the students who applied, and to the community for helping us support these amazing individuals.
