The Domino Effect of Financial Aid Misalignment
Whether it’s the flawed 2024 FAFSA rollout or the uncertainty surrounding the Department of Education’s 2025 direction, institutions are grappling with unprecedented disruption—and the ripple effects are being felt across every aspect of campus operations.
The fallout has exposed widespread challenges:
Persistent staffing shortages
Growing compliance complexity
Enrollment and retention pressures
The operational cost of outdated, manual systems
Institutions can no longer afford to treat financial aid as a back-office function. When it’s aligned strategically, financial aid becomes the lever that improves outcomes across the institution.
