Financial Aid Initiative Student Advisory Council
The Duke University Financial Aid Initiative is a University-wide effort to dramatically increase endowed funds for scholarships and graduate fellowships. Over a period of three to four years, the Initiative's total goal is to raise $300 million. The members of this Committee will play an essential role in the initiative by creating a culture among students that would foster open communication between administration and students, strong donor-recipient bonds, and would encourage students to take a proactive approach to improving the financial aid program. The ideal committee member will be a student who:
* Has taken advantage of the opportunity financial aid has afforded them by acting as a leader and innovator in the Duke community.
* Wants to continue to give back to the university by focusing time and energy on helping the Financial Aid Initiative succeed.
* Is able to connect with their peers effectively and impart upon them the importance of the initiative.
* Is able to interact with alumni and donors comfortably to share the student recipients' perspective on the value of financial aid programs.
GPSC selects two representatives to this committee (one from sciences or engineering, and one from social sciences or humanities).
