Transfer scholarships will be given more expediently.
Objective
Award Transfer Scholarships
Eligible students who transfer to SHSU from other universities or community colleges will be awarded scholarships.
Indicator
Percentage Of Transfer Scholarships Awarded
The percentage of transfer scholarships awarded will serve as the indicator of success.
Criterion
95% Transfer Scholarship Awards
95% of Transfer Scholarships will be successfully awarded.
Finding
Streamlined Approach
The addition of new Cognos Reports through Banner has expedited the identification of eligible transfer students so that notification of scholarship award has also been expedited. We were able to award approximately 95% of the scholarships to eligible transfer students. However, we did miss some eligible students who were later identified by other methods.
Action
Additional Reports Needed
Although the available Cognos reports have been extremely helpful in identifying eligible students, additional reports are needed to approach 100% identification. Enrollment Management will be working with the Banner Cognos system to generate additional reports associated with identification of eligible transfer students.
