You will also review submitted portfolios and résumés to ensure they meet scholarship requirements and advocate for students seeking additional financial support. Likewise, you will provide guidance on outside scholarship resources or steps for scholarship appeal. Additionally, you will remain knowledgeable of all university policies and procedures to communicate accurate information. In this position, you will engage with students through webinars, online chat sessions, and two monthly LiveAgent shifts to assist them at various stages of the admission process. Responsibilities include participation in special events, occasional evening and weekend work, and travel to support off‑campus events or recruitment opportunities.
