PJ is getting a lot of public attention these days; so much so that the Department of Education has issued two Dear Colleague Letters in the past two months. The effects of the economic recession are going to drive students and families to your doorstep. How are you going to handle them in a timely and efficient manner, without impacting enrollment, giving the farm away, or running afoul of federal regulations?
ProEducation Solutions, LLC offers its team of experienced former and retired financial aid professionals to assist all educational institutions with the PJ process. Similar to another recently announced service, called the "Verification Assistant," the "PJ Assistant" is delivered through a secure, web-based service to handle the multitude of documents involved in both verification and professional judgment. Let our team of financial aid experts be a virtual extension of your office without the expense and time of hiring and training new staff.
We know that college and university budgets are very tight these days. By using our services you can get that extra set of hands needed to get the job completed, while at the same time reducing your costs. As one Financial Aid Director recently remarked, "I couldn't do this any cheaper myself." Give us a call to check out our prices. You might be very surprised at how affordable we are.
Both ProEd's PJ Assistant & Verification Assistant provide a complete audit trail, including who reviewed the documents, the date of review, and the recommended action. In addition, there is a complete archival system so that college staff can retrieve documents on line for each day, week, month or year. Documents can also be retrieved from previous years.
The benefits of the Assistant Programs are:
- The process is completely electronic
- Verification is done by experienced former financial aid administrators
- Complete on-line archival of verification forms and processes
- Reduces your workload
- Improves customer service
- Inexpensive and easy to use
- More efficient and speeds up the process
- Utilizes the same web-based process as the PJ Assistant
This service is available to all colleges and universities, including: all public and private institutions, 2 or 4 year, and nonprofit or for-profit institutions. Both the Verification and PJ Assistant are available for immediate implementation. Colleges can choose to use one or both services. Discounts are available for colleges that choose to use both services.
