Pathways Salary & Benchmarking Survey
The data that finally tells the truth about enrollment compensation, staffing and office flow.
The Pathways Salary & Benchmarking Survey is the only comprehensive compensation study specifically focused on admission, enrollment, financial aid, and enrollment marketing professionals in independent and faith-based schools. Not general education data. Not nonprofit sector averages. It provides enrollment-specific figures designed for the conversations enrollment professionals need to have.
Why It Matters
For too long, enrollment professionals have negotiated pay without reliable, industry-specific data. General education salary surveys don't differentiate between a director of enrollment and a classroom teacher. Pathways does. Whether you're advocating for a raise, setting a salary for a new hire, benchmarking your team's pay, or helping a head of school understand how to retain top enrollment talent — this is the data that makes those discussions credible.
