Financial Aid

Students don’t know what they don’t know. Nowhere is this more true than financial aid. Students constantly miss out on financial aid opportunities or miss deadlines simply because they don’t know that they are there. At the same time, cost is the number one reason students site to why they don’t continue their education. Modern Campus Message helps to increase enrollment and retention by reaching busy students where they are – on their phone. Proactively sharing deadlines or new scholarship opportunities can be the difference between hitting enrollment goals and now. And by leveraging what you know about your students, Message allows for easy, targeted, and personalized outreach that will support your students every step of the way.
