Most college students don’t know they can ask for additional financial aid.
SHSF built SwiftStudent to guide students through the appeal process.
During the COVID-19 emergency, SwiftStudent helped students with financial aid appeals, providing both factual information about eligibility and industry-approved template letters for submission. SwiftStudent remains available as a no-cost tool for students.
SwiftStudent's partners include leading higher education organizations across the United States.
