Improved Processes

With a legacy rooted in education and community, Virginia University of Lynchburg—a historically Black university—was looking for a better way to manage financial aid. The school needed a system that could streamline manual processes and simplify awarding and packaging. That’s why they turned to PowerFAIDS.

Increased Efficiency

“We hoped to improve our efficiency in processing and reduce manual awarding and packaging,” said Romena Morgan, director of financial aid at Virginia University of Lynchburg. With automated workflows and built-in compliance features, PowerFAIDS reduces the administrative burden on staff—freeing up more time to focus on students.
