financial aid CONSULTING SERVICES

In everything we do. . .
we believe in challenging ourselves, our clients, and the status quo.

David Kent Consulting is poised to play a crucial role in supporting financial aid offices as they navigate the evolving landscape of financial assistance for higher education. In light of the U.S. Department of Education’s recent initiatives, such as the FAFSA College Support Strategy unveiled on February 5, 2024, there is an urgent need for expert guidance to enhance accessibility and accuracy in the distribution of financial aid. With a focus on providing additional personnel, funding, resources, and technology, the Department aims to support colleges and universities as they work to streamline the FAFSA related processes and expedite financial aid packaging for students.

Our consultants stand ready to assist colleges and universities as they navigate and adapt to change. Leveraging our specialized expertise, technical assistance and on-the-ground support we can assist Financial Aid Offices in improving processes and maximizing the utilization of available systems and tools.
