We’re Hiring! Assistant Director of Scholarships & Education
| March 6, 2025 |
The Thoma Foundation seeks an Assistant Director of Scholarships and Education to advance the Thoma Scholars Program, which supports recipients from the Texas Panhandle, northwest Oklahoma, and eastern New Mexico, and to strengthen rural education in the geographic area. Reporting to the Director, the Assistant Director will be based in the geographic area to prioritize collaborative work with the Foundation’s university partners.
The Thoma Scholars Program seeks two outcomes for its scholars: to ensure that students complete their degrees on time and that they develop into a new generation of leaders. The Foundation has partnered with two universities that have a unique understanding of the region, as well as a record of supporting rural and first-generation students with dedicated resources to help them succeed. To ensure retention and graduation of these talented students from rural areas, the program prioritizes building community among its scholars, providing guidance and mentorship, and ensuring individualized academic planning.
The Assistant Director will work collaboratively with university staff to ensure that scholarship recipients are supported holistically, ensuring timely academic progress and access to university opportunities. The Assistant Director will also serve as a resource to high school counselors, prospective students, and families in the region.
To apply, please send your cover letter, resume or C.V., and writing sample of no more than 10 pages to tfjobs@thomafoundation.org.
