Online Video Service Reduces Costs, Saves Time, Improves Counseling and Outreach
SAN FRANCISCO, CA -- Financial Aid TV (FATV), a leading supplier of online video counseling and outreach solutions for college financial aid offices, announced today a new addition to its online network.
Texas A&M University (College Station, TX) is the latest school to take advantage of Financial Aid TV’s customized online video counseling and outreach solutions.
"We are very pleased with the freedom Financial Aid TV gives our students to receive information about financial aid 24/7," said Bridgette Ingram, Associate Director of Scholarships & Financial Aid at Texas A&M University.
"Prior to making the commitment to work with Financial Aid TV, we created a focus group of students to review the product and received positive feedback. In addition, we contacted other schools using the product concerning their experiences. Based on these recommendations and feedback, we began using FATV in February 2009," said Ingram.
"In these tough economic times, schools are being challenged to do more with less," said Paul Burke, VP of Sales for Financial Aid TV. "FATV is an affordable turn-key solution designed to assist all schools, from traditional brick and mortar institutions to online distance education."
Added Burke: "Students often times do not read the materials put out by financial aid offices. Our service connects with students in a ‘YouTube’ format that they can relate to."
Schools are deploying FATV in a variety of ways, including:
- To Increase FA Applications
- To Improve Default Aversion Efforts
- To Improve Customer Service
- To Reduce Student Wait Times
- To Reduce Student Phone Calls
- To Expand Counseling Reach
Free webinars are held weekly for schools interested in learning more. Schools can sign-up at www.financialaidtv.com or contact Paul Burke, VP of Sales at paul@financialaidtv.com or call 1-888-704-9090.
