Metropolitan State University boosts Raise Me followers from three digits to four digits with Ellucian

Metropolitan State University of Denver, a public institution with a high percentage of first-generation and PELL-eligible students, faced the challenge of recruiting and funding transfer students with minimal scholarship resources and staff. To address this, they partnered with Ellucian's Raise Me platform to create an efficient and economical way to engage prospective students early in their academic journey.

The solution implemented by Ellucian involved using Raise Me Enrollment to offer custom micro-scholarships for college-prep activities, providing a preview of guaranteed aid. This created a two-way connection with students and incentivized them to engage with the university much earlier. The results for Ellucian's customer were a dramatic increase in follower engagement, growing from three-digit to four-digit numbers year-over-year, providing an unmistakable ROI and a powerful tool for student support.
