Description
In order to make a University’s mission a reality, increasing student enrollment may mean increasing need-based aid programs. Join us for a discussion on how Wayne State University (WSU) restructured their financial aid programs to allow an increase in student aid without breaking the bank. In the 2017-18 academic year WSU launched the Access program, which provids eligible students zero out-of-pocket expenses for tuition and fees – and influenced a 15% increase in the freshman class.
