Maricopa County’s Rio Salado College recently issued a request for proposals to find online program management consulting services, with plans to accept submissions at its Tempe location until 3 p.m. Sept. 14.

Having received a grant from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation in 2016 to develop its Student Success and Scaling Initiative, the college now seeks to refine and introduce online services specifically focused on its out-of-state students’ needs.

Rio Salado enrollment includes over 27,000 online learners, as well as over 6,000 students who live in states other than Arizona, according to a press release.

Program management specialists can download the RFP document, request the document by calling 480-731-8526 or pick one up in person at the Maricopa County Community College district office’s purchasing department at 2411 W. 14th St., Tempe on the fifth floor.
