Among the respondents, 61% were female, 37% were male, and 2% identified themselves as other. Nearly half (48%) were Caucasian, 21% were Black, 17% were Hispanic\/Latino, 7% were Asian\/Pacific Islander and 7% identified as other.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">61% of the respondents were high school students, with the vast majority high school seniors; nearly one-third (31%) were college undergraduate students, primarily college freshmen; 5% were graduate students and 3% identified themselves as adult\/non-traditional students.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Background<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The rising cost of college has significantly impacted Gen Z, resulting in skyrocketing student debt, and a decreased ability for some students to go to college. Federal and state need-based aid is available to help low-income students reduce their out-of-pocket cost, but middle-income students are often not able to qualify for this assistance and end up taking out student loans to defray costs. Low-income students who do receive federal or state grant aid also often take out student loans because grants only cover a portion of the total cost of attendance. Scholarships present an often untapped opportunity to cover the cost of college, but there are simply not enough scholarships available to meet the need.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most scholarships are offered by nonprofit organizations; however, a growing number of brands are offering scholarships to not only help fill this unmet need, but also to help forge a relationship with Gen Z students to help meet their own business goals. Our survey examines the relationship between Gen Z and the brands who offer scholarships to determine if scholarships are a viable marketing channel for brands.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Survey questions<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The first survey question was \u201cHow do you feel about a brand that offers a scholarship?\u201d Students selected all responses that applied to them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-8754 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/scholarshipowl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/April-2023-stat1-1.png\" alt=\"73 percent of gen z students develop positive feelings about brands that offer scholarships\" width=\"732\" height=\"444\" srcset=\"https:\/\/scholarshipowl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/April-2023-stat1-1.png 732w, https:\/\/scholarshipowl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/April-2023-stat1-1-300x182.png 300w, https:\/\/scholarshipowl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/April-2023-stat1-1-80x49.png 80w, https:\/\/scholarshipowl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/April-2023-stat1-1-128x78.png 128w, https:\/\/scholarshipowl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/April-2023-stat1-1-320x194.png 320w, https:\/\/scholarshipowl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/April-2023-stat1-1-404x245.png 404w, https:\/\/scholarshipowl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/April-2023-stat1-1-561x340.png 561w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 732px) 100vw, 732px\" \/>Nearly three-quarters (73%) of respondents said that they would have positive feelings about a brand that offers a scholarship.
