Recommendation from the Stewardship Task Force:
Explore “graduation scholarships” or loan forgiveness strategies that encourage continued academic achievement, such as graduate school or leadership through service to the community.
Additional explanation:
Graduation does not mark the conclusion of a student’s relationship with the Gustavus but the start of the student’s investment in the global community. To ensure that maximum benefit is gained from each undergraduate experience, the College should consider investing in incentives that encourage further achievement, whether academic or through service to the community, with such incentives helping to define the institution as a leader in the lifelong partnership of its graduates.
