In today’s budget-conscious environment, Upswing understands the pressure colleges and universities face to stretch every dollar without sacrificing student support. We believe that all students—especially nontraditional and historically marginalized groups—deserve high-quality, holistic resources to help them reach graduation. To make this goal a reality, Upswing has introduced two essential tools: a powerful ROI Calculator that demonstrates the value of student support investments and a strategic grant-writing e-book designed to help you unlock funding for retention programs.
Every dropout means lost tuition revenue, making it more critical than ever to invest in retention programs that keep students on track to graduation. Every student lost to attrition impacts your institution’s bottom line—and your mission to provide quality education. At Upswing, we know that tight budgets often make it difficult to invest in the support students need to stay on track. The new ROI Calculator will help you quantify the financial benefits of investing in student retention services and the e-book will help you secure the funding you need to make it happen.
