Choosing to outsource the evaluation of financial need can provide some distinct benefits for both the school and its students

Professionalism   An outside service gives your program greater objectivity and an association with national standards.

Confidentiality   Parents are more comfortable providing confidential information to an outside service and will generally disclose more complete information to them.

Dual Expertise   An outside service provides expertise to both administrators and parents during the application process.

Impartiality   An outside service is prepared to evaluate all family financial conditions, including ownership of significant assets, corporations, partnerships and farmland.

Ease   An outside service can free up the financial aid administrator from most of the clerical work and parental contact involved in processing financial aid requests. This substantially reduces the total cost of the process by using appropriate technology.

Accuracy   An outside service will bring confidence and fairness to the distribution of your financial aid funds.
