New Resource: 2026 Scholarship Benchmark Report

We are pleased to share our first annual Scholarship Program Benchmark Report, providing a data-informed view of hundreds of programs administered by ISTS. Explore the benchmarks to compare your current approach, identify meaningful questions and make more informed decisions for your next cycle.

After reviewing the report, consider which findings raise questions about your own program. An aggregate benchmark can provide helpful context but the greatest value comes from connecting the data to your organization’s specific goals, audience and operating model.

If you are interested in an industry-specific benchmark, an organization-specific analysis or a deeper discussion of what the findings may mean for your program, please reach out to Monica Watts, Client Success Manager (mwatts@applyISTS.com). We welcome the opportunity to explore the data with you and identify insights that can help strengthen your next scholarship cycle.
Recap: Client Appreciation Week 2026

Client referrals are more than compliments – they are the heart of our growth.

We build impactful and enduring relationships with our clients, creating a seamless experience that exceeds expectations, and we’re grateful for the trust you’ve placed in our team. If you know of an organization that could benefit from our comprehensive, people-first approach to scholarship and tuition reimbursement administration, we would be honored for you to refer ISTS.
