Financial Aid Modeling

We use sophisticated quantitative models to predict key decision points, like a student’s likelihood to apply, enroll, and stay (retain) and leverage our understanding of those probabilities to optimize the use of limited resources and achieve enrollment goals. Our strategy is set apart from others because it is individualized. With individualized awarding, you will have an aid strategy for each individual student, and each individual student will have a package built just for them—a truly personalized approach. Like everything else we do, this service is data-driven, customized, segmented and personalized.

Individualized Awarding

We build a strategy that matches each individual student to an institutional aid award designed to maximize the probability that you will meet or exceed your enrollment goals. We deliver multiple enrollment scenarios and work with your team to choose the right fit strategy for your institution. Like all of our models, these strategies are built from the ground up, accounting for shifts in market forces and student behavior, year after year.

Leveraged Outcomes

Our proprietary methods have helped many institutions improve net revenue outcomes while enrolling cohorts that meet or exceed cohort composition goals. We will help you build a comprehensive view of future enrollment and financial outcomes to inform longer-term strategies.

Award Tracking and Reporting
