There are some incoming freshmen who have taken all the necessary steps to start college but simply disappear over the summer. And there are currently enrolled students who have done what it takes to persist, but leave school due to verification roadblocks. Both sets of students are now facing additional challenges in the midst of the pandemic and can be seen as the opposite sides of the same “student melt” coin, resulting in lost opportunities for both college and learner. So what can we do to combat melt?

This session provides an overview of the melt phenomenon, considering today's issues, using curated research to highlight some of the root causes and issues, as well as steps we can take to raise awareness and identify strategies to help students get to and through college.

In 2018, Inceptia published our first State of Student Finances report, examining the real-world financial choices of college students across the country. Three years later, we revisit our survey with some surprising results, including the immediate impact of COVID-19 on student money management.

Join us as we dig into the data from Inceptia’s second State of Student Finances publication, in which we surveyed over 65,000 students to gauge how financial behaviors change – or don’t -- over time. The results also give us unique insight into how students are navigating the pandemic and adapting their behaviors in the face of economic uncertainty.

This review can help higher education professionals identify those aspects of personal finance with which students struggle, while also offering financial education strategies to assist and empower students.

Verification continues to change as we manage the new normal of today and work toward the uncertain normal of tomorrow. We all know the intent of verification is to get the right amount of aid to those that need it most and the process can be challenging. Managing it will likely get even harder when you consider a possible flood of PJs. The challenges along the way can make or break the decision process for students and their families, impacting them for years to come and wreak havoc on your office.

In this session we will be joined by a panel of financial aid experts to talk through how the verification challenges are changing and actions we can take to mitigate them.
