Colleges are in a constant struggle to provide today’s students with the highest-level learning experience, while managing the rising cost of education. A recent survey found that almost 50% of high school students want to attend college, but 40% of those that attend require student loans. Now with today’s economic uncertainties what tools can colleges use to facilitate students’ goals for a higher education, while avoiding the problems of student debt? At the same time, what steps can universities take to minimize the costs to run their financial platform?

Join us to find to explore these issues and listen out how Delgado Community College was successful with an approach to help students and their parents manage their educational cost without diminishing the student experience. Hear Delgado discuss its challenges and what steps they took to provide students and parents with effective cost management tools, while addressing their own needs around technology adoption, financial efficiency and cost savings.
