Optimizing Yield
Yield more students by addressing affordability and value in financial aid awarding
“We thought we had the perfect aid strategy, but we didn’t get the class we wanted.”
To move more of your admitted students to enrollment, it takes more than financial aid leveraging. You need to address affordability and value, all while managing your goals for net revenue and yield.
Our solutions for Optimizing Yield balance this complex set of needs through:
- Pricing strategies informed by accurate, actionable data.
- Leveraging revenue to meet key objectives.
- Communicating affordability and value in a way that reassures students about enrolling.
Find out how these solutions can persuade more students to enroll after they are accepted.
