FACTS Grant & Aid Assessment
You believe in the power of private education, and you want the families in your community to have access to it. Of course, some of those students and their families will need tuition assistance. That means you need an accurate, unbiased way of determining which students receive awards and how much each of those awards should total.
With FACTS Grant & Aid Assessment, we work with you to create a custom application to securely collect families’ financial data. This allows you to make data-driven award decisions based on financial needs, while also streamlining your enrollment process by bringing your admissions process online, and eliminating a silo-based infrastructure.
