5X����

The Enrollment Management team has been working with our campus partners on three exciting initiatives that will make it easier for prospective students and their families as they prepare for college.

SCHOLARSHIPUNIVERSE

ScholarshipUniverse is a new search portal that will help match students to more than 240 institutional and 6,000 external scholarships. Students can find additional scholarships based on major, academic achievements, financial need, activities, interests and more! Receiving a scholarship is not guaranteed, and scholarships are competitive. Students should apply for as many scholarships as possible. To use the ScholarshipUniverse portal, a student must be an admitted or continuing student at 5X����. In phase two, all Regional Campuses will be included in this portal. And once phase three is completed, all institutional scholarships awarded at Kent State will be loaded into the portal. To explore and learn more, visit: the Scholarship Universe Web page.

PERSONALIZED FINANCIAL AID VIDEO

All newly admitted Kent State students will receive a customized financial aid video via email and text when they receive their financial aid offer from the university for fall 2022 enrollment. The customized videos will include the student’s name and award amount in both voice-over and text. The videos will feature custom scenes of campus locations and student engagement. We know students are more engaged with video. Information presented will be easy to understand and we can share changes to a student’s financial aid package to help students and their families finalize plans to attend Kent State. The videos are accessible and may be viewed in English or Spanish. .

CUSTOM VIEWBOOK

Kent State’s new custom viewbook delivers a personalized, shareable, accessible experience for prospective students and their families. Our new digital viewbook allows students and families to explore Kent State in a way that is 100% tailored to each student’s interests. Students can mix and match their favorite programs and explore areas of student life that speak to them. The viewbook includes photos, videos, and quotes from students for a rich, engaging, and relevant experience that helps them explore life at Kent State. This viewbook can help each student prepare to take the next steps in their admissions journey.

We are adding helpful information for international students and, later this spring, the graduate program custom viewbook will launch. .

“We are committed to ‘Students First,’ by providing the guidance and support to students and families throughout the college selection process, “said Sean Broghammer, Ph.D., vice president for Enrollment Management. “The outstanding collaboration with faculty and staff across our institution has enhanced our ongoing innovative and personalized search approach to provide a welcoming experience for students and families as they enter Kent State.”
