Dr. Scott F. Healy
Before founding Scott Healy & Associates in 1998,
Dr. Scott F. Healy’s impressive career in higher education enrollment management spanned three decades at nine academic institutions.
During this time and since then, Dr. Healy has helped private and public colleges and universities of all sizes achieve institutional advancement through high-quality national higher education executive searches, interim placements, and enrollment management audits.
Now, Scott Healy & Associates is a nationally recognized educational consulting firm specializing in finding the best professionals for health science leadership roles, enrollment management, admissions, financial aid, registrar, and more.
One of the things I always looked for when working with consulting firms back when I was a VPEM or Dean of Admissions in higher education was if the firm had a passion, excitement, and desire to help others that matched my own. When I started Scott Healy & Associates in 1998, those values held true, and still do today. It pushes me to go above and beyond for my clients — a quality I have worked to instill at every level and in every step of the process at SH & A. That has always been the underpinning of our work and that is what continues to set us apart from other consulting firms: a sincere passion for providing personalized, outstanding services.
