Removing Barriers That Keep Students Out
A student who can’t afford to stay in school can’t succeed. It’s time for the Higher Ed community to work together to lean in and explore new ideas that make Student Financial Success a reality.
The Shift Summit is the forum for Higher Ed leaders in enrollment, recruitment, financial aid, diversity, and engagement to transform the way they approach Student Financial Success at their institution.
Conference Tracks
Content at the Shift Summit is organized around three key Student Financial Success themes that break down barriers for higher education institutions and the students they serve.
Cut Through Complexity
Every roadblock a student encounters in the financial aid process drains their confidence and builds frustration. Complexity is the #1 barrier between students and the funding they need to pursue their goals in Higher Ed, and it hits underserved populations the hardest. Institutions need to leverage creative solutions to overcome confusing, arduous financial aid processes that have become all too common.
Unlock Every Dollar
Funding higher education is becoming increasingly difficult for students who often don’t understand their options regarding available scholarships, emergency funding sources, and financial aid. Institutions are challenged to dig deep and unlock every dollar available for existing and incoming students. Otherwise, students are left without the necessary funds to bridge both small and large financial gaps.
Chart Personal Pathways
Each student faces their own unique set of financial obstacles. Custom guidance that meets the needs of every student individually feels unrealistic — but does it have to be? Scalable solutions that allow every student to realize their own personal path are the future of Student Financial Success.
