Santander Scholarships
Approach
The discovery phase helped us gain a deeper understanding of what the client was trying to achieve with the scheme by evaluating what had been considered or tried in the past, and how the outcomes would support their broader strategy and existing Theory of Change.
We then applied a rigorous assessment methodology to approximately 4000 applications. The assessment process was carefully designed to align with the objectives of the scheme and to be as objective as possible.
Lastly, we designed and delivered a monitoring and evaluation framework including detailed survey design, to let impact be tracked over time.
Impact
100 students were successfully selected and onboarded into the scholarships programme, with 99% remaining after two years—a much higher rate than would be expected of the general student population.
