We give tuition-dependent colleges and universities (CIC-type institutions) the tools to:
- Significantly increase FAFSA listings.
- Secure inclusion in students’ 'finalist clusters.'
- Improve enrollment outcomes with minimal added workload.
Key Outcomes:
- Early deposits.
- Optimal financial aid packaging.
- Reduced deposit withdrawals.
- Improved second-year retention.
Why FAFSA Matters:
The FAFSA is the most important document a student can send you. Being listed is an invitation to compete for their enrollment.
