Fort Worth, TX

6/12/2006

Michael H. Scott, TCU’s director of scholarships and student financial aid, has been named the Chancellor’s Leadership Intern for 2006-2007. Chancellor Victor J. Boschini Jr. initiated this program a year ago, as a way to better familiarize senior employees with the inner workings of the university.

As the Chancellor’s intern, Scott will assume membership in the Chancellor’s Cabinet and attend other activities in which the Chancellor typically participates. The internship program is modeled after the American Council of Education’s (ACE) Fellows program. ACE Fellows observe how senior leaders address strategic planning, resource allocation, development, policy and other crucial administration topics.

Scott, who has BFA and MBA degrees from TCU, was hired as a financial aid counselor for the university in 1988.  He has become active in the financial aid industry at the national and international levels, regularly conducting workshops for lenders, college administrators, school counselors, parents and students. He has served on advisory boards for a variety of companies and educational organizations, including JP Morgan CHASE/Education First, Nellie Mae Educational Loans, PeopleSoft, EdFinancial, The College Board, The Council for the Management of Educational Finance and Texas Guaranteed Student Loan Corporation.
