The Community Foundation of St. Clair County is seeking a full-time Program Officer to lead our growing Scholarship Programs.
The Foundation has a goal of degree attainment for its scholarship recipients. Focus has shifted away from merely college access and one-time scholarship awards to the success of students receiving our scholarships.
The Scholarship Program Officer will lead the Foundation’s overall scholarship work. While managing a total caseload of more than 170 students annually, this person will focus on providing targeted support & success coaching for our high priority students (40 – 50 annually) who are either economically disadvantaged, single parents, students of color and/or first-generation college students.
This position is also responsible for monitoring, tracking and maintaining the records for all students in the Foundation’s scholarship programs, as well as building program awareness and outreach.
We will expect qualified candidates to have a firm grasp of our theories around college success, life needs, multi-year support and the shortcomings of traditional front-end scholarships.
The Community Foundation of St. Clair County has been lifting up philanthropy since 1944. Our office is located in downtown Port Huron and this new Program Officer will join an existing staff of 11 professionals. We offer a competitive full-time salary, health benefits and a 403b plan.
