In 2008 Scannell & Kurz was contracted by The College of Saint Rose to analyze the price sensitivity of new, full-time, undergraduate students in order to recommend aid strategies that would most effectively support the achievement of institutional enrollment goals including minority underrepresented populations, expanding the geographic footprint, and reducing the discount rate. The College also took advantage of S&K’s Online Reporting Tool, SKORE
In 2009, S&K worked with the College again by adding the fall 2009 new student recruitment and enrollment results to the model.
