Two years ago we created the Drs. Davis and Alexander Honorary Scholarship Fund to recognize the legacy and leadership of Drs. Terri Davis and Apryl Alexander at the University of Denver and in the overall psychology community. This scholarship fund specifically provides support to BIPOC students within our former department, the Graduate School of Professional Psychology (GSPP). As described here (Addressing the Shortage: The Crucial Need for BIPOC Therapists in America’s Diverse Communities – MHA Spartanburg), and elsewhere, the demand for representative care from BIPOC therapists is related to their unique ability to provide a shared cultural experience and understanding for BIPOC patients. Yet, there is a dramatic shortage - the current ratio of BIPOC persons to BIPOC therapists (1,002:1) is woefully inadequate to meet currently growing mental health needs nationwide. As we continue to honor Drs. Davis and Alexander, both of whom go above and beyond to train more BIPOC providers via their teaching, mentorship, advocacy, and modeling, we know we need more funding to continue to support new BIPOC providers entering the field. Graduate coursework in psychology costs tens of thousands of dollars and student loan debt is a main reason potential trainees choose not to enter or to leave the field. Friends and colleagues, please consider donating anything you are able to support a BIPOC trainee to continue their studies in Psychology. And/or please share this post to widen our giving audience. Together, we can help diversify the field, encouraging all who need care to seek support.

Post 3: Understanding Full and Partial Scholarships What Do Athletic Scholarships Cover? Full athletic scholarships typically cover tuition, fees, room, board, and course-related books. However, most student-athletes receive partial scholarships, which cover only a portion of these costs. In addition to athletic scholarships, many student-athletes benefit from academic scholarships, NCAA financial aid programs like the NCAA Division I Student-Athlete Opportunity Fund, and need-based aid such as Federal Pell Grants. These combined resources can significantly reduce the economic burden of higher education. Learn more.

I couldn’t agree with Jacob Vigdor more. Evidence suggests that there are only a handful of universities in the country where revenue generating sports (football and basketball) are actually self-sustaining. The vast majority are subsidized by donor, tuition, and state (tax) dollars. Considering the multiple crises that universities are facing we’re going to need to reassess our priorities around college sports. I think it’s increasingly important to reinvest in the core mission of college - research and education.

What Happens When a College Dies? Birmingham-Southern College will soon be closing its doors for the last time, and as that day approaches, the college's alumni, faculty, staff and other stakeholders are grappling with what its demise means for each of them and how they move forward from here. Unfortunately, the constituents of several other colleges and universities are facing the same questions this year--and undoubtedly numerous other institutions will be confronting those questions during the balance of this decade. Since January 2024 alone, at least 16 institutions have announced they are merging with larger universities or ceasing operations, including Pennsylvania's Cabrini College, Salus University and Pennsylvania College of Health Sciences; New York's Wells College, Medaille College, and College of St. Rose; and Goddard College in Vermont. It is clear that the list will continue to grow. #collegeclosures #collegesanduniversities #highereducation #highered #privatecolleges #higheredleadership #higheredfinances #alumni #covidimpacts
