🙌 The Role

Boundless Life is committed to providing innovative educational opportunities that inspire creativity, critical thinking, and a deep connection with the world around us. To make education more accessible, we are establishing the Boundless Education Scholarship Fund, aimed at supporting students from diverse backgrounds and fostering academic excellence.

We are seeking an experienced and driven Scholarship Program Manager to lead the development and execution of this scholarship fund.

• Partnership Management: Build and maintain relationships with donors, educational institutions, and partners to support the growth and sustainability of the scholarship fund.

• Program Management: Manage day-to-day operations of the scholarship program, including communication with applicants, monitoring scholarship recipients, and ensuring compliance with program guidelines.

• Impact Assessment: Develop methods to assess the impact of the scholarship fund on recipients and the broader educational community. Provide regular reports on program outcomes to stakeholders.

• Marketing and Outreach: Promote the scholarship program through various channels, including social media, website, and community outreach. Collaborate with the marketing team to create compelling content that highlights the scholarship fund's impact.

• Continuous Improvement: Evaluate and refine the scholarship program based on feedback from stakeholders and evolving educational needs.
