What is SCNO?
Students Consulting for Nonprofit Organizations (SCNO) at the University of Cincinnati is a student-run organization that provides pro bono consulting for nonprofits in the Cincinnati area. SCNO provides clients with meaningful strategic consulting to achieve significant results in the community while simultaneously fostering opportunities for students to develop professional skills and gain practical consulting experience. Through ten weeks of intensive research and development, student teams work with nonprofits to develop action items and achieve the development goals of the nonprofit client.
In order to meet the highest standards of results, SCNO seeks talent from a diverse background of students - students from every college and major are encouraged to apply. This cross-collaboration of expertise allows our consultants to not only develop a wide breadth of solutions across fields, but also delve deeply into each specific sub-solution, drawing upon individual strengths.
Today, SCNO is quickly becoming one of the most engaging and dynamic student groups on campus by offering students the opportunity to apply their academic and personal experiences to better the community through pro-bono consulting engagements. In fact, in 2017, SCNO was named Best Student Organization of the Year at the University of Cincinnati by the Student Activities Board. We are incredibly proud to have won this award in our second year as a student organization.
SCNO is a national organization founded in 2000 at the University of Arizona. As of 2017, there are over 30 chapters around the country at schools such as Ohio State, Northwestern, Johns Hopkins, Vanderbilt. SCNO was founded at the University of Cincinnati in 2016.
