Mount Saint Mary College returns to PowerFAIDS to automate their financial aid processes.

A Trusted System

The director of student financial services at Mount Saint Mary College, Catie Drozenski, was concerned that their newly acquired financial aid management system was not meeting their office’s needs. As a prior PowerFAIDS institution, they had made the switch to an Enterprise Resource Planning - or ERP - based financial aid platform.

Comprehensive Functionality

Within two years, Mount Saint Mary College made the decision to return to PowerFAIDS. "We are transitioning back to PowerFAIDS because it is easier to use and offers comprehensive features that are needed to support the growing demands of students and staff." 

Robust Features

The director and the financial aid team had come to expect the robust features available in PowerFAIDS as an industry standard. Built and supported by financial aid professionals who have worked within aid offices themselves, the system has a depth of capabilities that leads in the higher education field.

"PowerFAIDS comes equipped with advanced functionalities, automated eligibility assessments, and more robust reporting tools."

Commitment to Service

The deep financial aid expertise across the PowerFAIDS team aided Mount Saint Mary College in their decision to return to PowerFAIDS. “We missed not only the functionality of PowerFAIDS but the terrific user support College Board provided."

Commitment to Institutions

For over twenty years, PowerFAIDS has supported institutions large and small. PowerFAIDS was the first system ready to process the redesigned Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). While ERP providers support the needs of other campus offices, PowerFAIDS ensures the backbone of student access – financial aid – continues to process efficiently and effectively for students to enroll and succeed in higher education.
