itemprop=\"text\" ><p>This month&#8217;s video message from President Rick Bailey is all about resources &#8211; funding opportunities for Â鶹´«Ã½ students, and for the university. He addresses potential students for the 2025-26 academic year, saying &#8220;there is money right now, potentially available to you &#8211; and money you don&#8217;t need to pay back.&#8217; Those resources are offered through various scholarships and grants, to those who complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Current or potential students can set up appointments with an Â鶹´«Ã½ financial aid advisor by emailing <a href=\"mailto:finaid@sou.edu\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">finaid@sou.edu<\/a> . President Bailey also updated the revenue-related elements of the Â鶹´«Ã½ Forward plan that was adopted two years ago. Efforts to reimagine grants and sponsored gifts by incentivizing faculty and staff members to pursue outside funding for research, equipment and other purposes has led to a big increase in both applications and in awards. A greater emphasis on philanthropy has brought unprecedented fund-raising success &#8211; 10 years ago, the Â鶹´«Ã½ Foundation generated an annual average of about $2.5 million in gifts; the average for each of the past three years has been about $10 million. The president also touched on revenue-generating projects: private developers have been invited to submit proposals for the senior living center that will replace the demolished Cascade Complex; and the rapid expansion of solar projects now enable the university to generate about 16% of its daytime electrical needs, compared to about 3% when President Bailey began at Â鶹´«Ã½ three years ago.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n<div  class='av-social-sharing-box av-2u4ne3-fca8b651d88a963a911c20cbed7d2d3f av-social-sharing-box-default  avia-builder-el-9  el_after_av_textblock

month&#8217;s video message from President Rick Bailey is all about resources &#8211; funding opportunities for Â鶹´«Ã½ students, and for the university. He addresses potential students for the 2025-26 academic year, saying &#8220;there is money right now, potentially available to you &#8211; and money you don&#8217;t need to pay back.&#8217; Those resources are offered through various scholarships and grants, to those who complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Current or potential students can set up appointments with an Â鶹´«Ã½ financial aid advisor by emailing <a href=\"mailto:finaid@sou.edu\" target=\"_blank\">finaid@sou.edu<\/a> . President Bailey also updated the revenue-related elements of the Â鶹´«Ã½ Forward plan that was adopted two years ago. Efforts to reimagine grants and sponsored gifts by incentivizing faculty and staff members to pursue outside funding for research, equipment and other purposes has led to a big increase in both applications and in awards. A greater emphasis on philanthropy has brought unprecedented fund-raising success &#8211; 10 years ago, the Â鶹´«Ã½ Foundation generated an annual average of about $2.5 million in gifts; the average for each of the past three years has been about $10 million. The president also touched on revenue-generating projects: private developers have been invited to submit proposals for the senior living center that will replace the demolished Cascade Complex; and the rapid expansion of solar projects now enable the university to generate about 16% of its daytime electrical needs, compared to about 3% when President Bailey began at Â鶹´«Ã½ three years ago.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":14,"featured_media":7773,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"aside","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[88,87],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7771","post","type-post","status-publish","format-aside","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-message-from-the-president","category-video","post_format-post-format-aside"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.0 (Yoast SEO v26.0) -
