Ventures Scholars Program consortium members can work together in a variety of ways:

• Undergraduate institutions, graduate schools, and professional schools can utilize the Ventures Scholars Program to improve their recruitment and retention efforts.
  
  
• Undergraduate institutions, graduate schools, and professional schools that share the same campus can work with the Ventures Scholars Program to increase the number of underrepresented and first- generation college-going students attending the campus at the undergraduate level and continuing to the graduate/professional school level.
  
  
• Graduate schools, professional schools, professional associations, and organizations can begin communicating with students as early as high school to help them better understand career requirements and expectations.
  
  
  
• Professional associations and organizations that develop programs with undergraduate institutions, graduate schools and professional schools can utilize the Ventures Scholars Program to track high achieving historically underrepresented students and first-generation college-going students at the high school and undergraduate levels.
