Occasionally AACRAO will endorse a partner in their survey initiative. Partners may include other associations or organizations engaged in research of interest to our membership and the higher education audience in general.
Although we receive several requests for partnerships, we are highly selective about those we choose to engage. When we do partner, we may send the survey on behalf of the organization like with did for the American Council on Education with the 60-Second survey on the GED. On other occasions we will provide a subset of our membership contact list to our partner and allow them to indicate that AACRAO is a research partner.
For example we, along with NACAC and NASFAA, have an opportunity to support Tyton Partners in their current research initiative funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. Their study into the technology used to support internal and student facing U.S. financial aid practices will be emailed to AACRAO’s primary contacts from a Tyton Partners email address in October.
If you have any questions about this partnership or AACRAO research partnerships in general, please email Wendy Kilgore, AACRAO’s Director of Research.
