Financial Aid Leveraging

As research shows, net price is one of the most important factors students consider when making their college decision. However, awarding students appropriately while recognizing financial aid budgets and net tuition revenue constraints can be challenging. College Raptor takes a different approach when implementing strategies to meet your institution’s enrollment and revenue goals.

Every enrollment stage is important and plays a part in our financial aid models. Our analysis begins with your historical awarding and enrollment data to create your institution-specific base model. Then, we layer on College Raptor’s predictive modeling algorithms to include competitive insights from other colleges and create forecasts for various unique awarding methodologies including both merit and need-based aid. This ensures that both aid leveraging and enrollment probability are kept in view when determining the optimal strategy.

Throughout the exploration process, we continually evaluate each methodology with your team and explore how each could achieve your institution-specific goals. Strategies to maximize net tuition revenue sometimes look different than increasing student headcount. College Raptor will tailor its methods to keep your objectives at the forefront of any financial aid strategy.​

In the end, you will have the best possible financial aid strategy, informed by data analysis and predictive modeling, to ensure enrollment and revenue success.
