Ensuring Higher Ed Affordability with Florida A&M, Lorain County CC & Butler University

A candid panel discussion about the cloud’s role in higher education’s current challenging era and beyond

The scale of financial need from COVID-19 will dwarf the Global Economic Recession and undermine the credibility of current financial aid practices. Technology will be vital to delivering more agility and finding space for services such as advisement. Yet significant questions remain about how to create this financial aid office of the future.

Our panel will explore: What is the structure is of a more resilient, agile financial aid office? How can institutions address the challenge of moving from manual to largely automated financial aid processes? How must financial aid be transformed in order to serve a generation disrupted by pandemic and recession?

Join this webcast to learn how:

- Regulations and enrollment will continue to be dynamic, requiring institutional agility with financial aid

- Embracing automation is a process for staff, but an expectation for students requiring real-time insight

- Legacy solutions for managing financial aid will be insufficient to support bold new thinking for expanding access to higher education
