MAGUIRE ASSOCIATES

Case Study 5

Maguire Associates assisted a highly-selective university in the Midwest, which practiced traditional need-based awarding, in developing a plan for limited merit-within-need awards. The university's primary goal was to enroll students of the highest academic quality. The results:

  • An increase of 90% in enrollment among the highest quality students at the university.
  • An additional $700,000 in net revenue from students of the highest academic quality.
  • An increase of 30 points in the mean SAT score for the entire first-year class.

EMFASYS™ can be applied to specific goals within specific groups, with dramatic impact on the entire enrolling class.
