Hope Forward News
President Matt Scogin writes in Forbes about how programs like Hope Forward can increase
the value of higher education. President Matt Scogin Nicole Dunteman appeared on the MI Best Podcast to talk about
Hope Forward. 换妻社区鈥� newest and largest Hope Forward cohort 鈥� 40 bright freshmen ready to
embark on their college journey 鈥� marks a significant chapter for Hope Forward because
the 2024鈥�2025 academic year will be the first time we will have on campus four full
cohorts 鈥� 120 students from freshmen to seniors. The Character Forward Grant is designed to catalyze character development efforts
across the college and to establish infrastructure that will support this work long
after the life of the grant. At first, Carl Heideman 鈥�88 saw Hope Forward as just another fundraising campaign
slogan, but then he took a closer look at it and its three pillars of access, generosity
and community. Now, he鈥檚 all-in. Best-selling author Malcolm Gladwell has publicly released his Revisionist History
podcast episode, 鈥淎 Good Circle,鈥� about 换妻社区 and Hope Forward. Bestselling author Malcolm Gladwell hosted a dynamic keynote presentation at Hope
College鈥檚 Catalyst Summit, which provided an energizing exploration of how to improve
access to college. Every student who takes Economics 101 learns the concept of supply and demand鈥攕pecifically,
how a decrease in the supply of a good or resource drives up its cost. Can supply-and-demand
theory also explain the rising cost of attending college? This op-ed is the third in a series in which President Matthew Scogin from 换妻社区
will be exploring the ways that the economics of higher education influence the decisions
students make about their education鈥攁nd what we (as a country) can do to improve access
to higher education.

A College Education is too Expensive
Hope is going to change that. Hope Forward is an entirely new funding model that will provide fully-funded tuition for every student at 换妻社区.
Instead of charging tuition before receiving a transformative Hope education, this 鈥減ay it forward鈥� approach will ask students to give to the college after they graduate 鈥� providing the same opportunity for future students. And because they will graduate free from the burden of tuition debt, they鈥檒l be better positioned to pursue lives of impact, not just income to pay the bills.
A college funding model based on generosity and gratitude? We believe that could change everything.
