Tackling FAFSA Delays: Insights for Enrollment Management Professionals with Emily Coleman For Your Institution

Emily Coleman, co-founder and CEO at HAI Analytics, joins FYI host Gil Rogers for a conversation about the recent announcement from the Department of Education that there would be further delays for everyone in receiving their FAFSA information and to start awarding aid packages. Emily and Gil discuss the ripple effects of those delays on college admissions and how enrollment professionals can respond with agility.

Emily suggests that institutions should provide clear communication to families about timeline changes and proactively offer financial aid information sessions. She also emphasizes the importance of working with high school guidance counselors and leveraging third-party geodemographic data for insights. They both agree that while uncertainty exists, enrollment managers can take strategic and proactive measures to navigate this situation effectively.
