Here's the bad news first: summer melt happens. An estimated 10 to 40% of high school students intending to enroll in college never actually do so. 😱 Now for the good news: melt isn't random. It's predictable, which means you can do something about cooling the melt using these six strategies. 😎 1️⃣ Score your melt risk. Identify those most at risk and engage them before they disappear. 2️⃣ Talk to students where they'll listen. Drop the generic marketing campaigns and focus instead on personalized texts and videos. 3️⃣ Address FAFSA confusion. Turn your financial aid office into a live help desk and schedule short, recurring drop-in sessions hosted by staff members.

We're here to help every student find where they belong. 🫶 Grateful to work with institutions who share the same mission of removing barriers to expand access to higher education.

Post-secondary education is a proven multiplier to lifetime earning potential. But for many high-school students, the sometimes-ominous process of applying to college is a significant barrier. So the Foundation in 2024 awarded a grant to the PASSHE Foundation, to enable students to more easily apply to the schools of Pennsylvania's State System of Higher Education–learning almost instantly if they are accepted, and even if they are eligible for a merit scholarship. The innovative direct-admission process is achieved through a partnership with Niche, a Pittsburgh-based technology company founded by Luke Skurman. The Foundation funds the initiative through its Economic Mobility program, which seeks to give all youth in Allegheny and Westmoreland counties access to their most promising future. Or, as Shelley Scherer, President and CEO of the PASSHE Foundation, said, “to make sure every child has the opportunity to be their best selves.” #philanthropy #economicmobility #highereducation #collegeadmissions #postsecondaryeducation

A study by Z.W. Taylor showed that SEO is as strong a predictor of yield as the number of applications, and an even more accurate predictor than admission rate. 🤯 To help "cool" summer melt, we're giving you 5 ways to improve your SEO and drive enrollment growth! 🍦 1️⃣ Optimize for student search queries. Use a tool like Semrush to do keyword research so you can provide answers for students' next steps. 2️⃣ Prioritize organic visibility over paid ads. Students and families value authentic voices over paid placements. 3️⃣ Use structured data to enhance visibility. Structured data (also known as schema markup) is a behind-the-scenes layer of code that helps search engines understand your content more effectively.

When you build trust, you create community. And that inspires enrollment growth more than any other selling point. ‼️ We're here to help you make an impact with these 7 high-impact strategies to increase private school enrollment! 🙌 1️⃣ Build a website that works for you 24/7. To stand out, you need a modern, mobile-first site, especially since the majority of your website traffic likely comes from mobile devices. 2️⃣ Turn parent reviews into your marketing superpower. Parents trust other parents. That’s why reviews on platforms like Niche matter more than ever, especially now that Google has removed reviews and ratings for schools. 3️⃣ Respond quickly. Parents expect replies within 24 hours, especially when they’re comparing schools. Miss that window, and you lose them to the school that didn’t.
