March 17, 2020 — The Bonner Foundation is pleased to release a new report that showcases the findings from the 2018-2019 implementation of a newly revised Bonner Student Impact Survey from across its national network of 65 institutions. Since 1990, the Bonner Program has provided colleges and institutions with a viable model for supporting college access for diverse, low-income students.
Over 800 students participated in the 2019 Survey, thanks to support from the Bonner Program staff on a network of 65 colleges and universities.
Integrated into the work-study and scholarship of their financial aid packages, this cohort-based program enables Bonner students to participate in a rigorous, developmental progression of community engagement which is reinforced with regular training, education, and reflection. The Bonner Program has also helped campuses integrate community engagement campus-wide by providing a variety of models for scaffolded learning in both curricular and co-curricular student life, with student leadership as a core feature.
