Understand the Transition to the Student Aid Index (SAI)
COLLEGES ASK:
How can we understand how the Student Aid Index impacts our aid awarding?
What options are possible to provide students award estimates given all the FASFA delays?
How will the transition to SAI affect Pell recipients?
How does my institution evaluate the impact SAI has on enrollment, discount rate and revenue?
How do we encourage students to apply for aid who we think will qualify?

WHY IT MATTERS
The Student Aid Index is the fundamental assessment of demonstrated need that institutions use as the backbone of delivering efficient and competitive aid awards to students.
These tools are part of a large body of analytic work that can help your enrollment office determine future institutional goals around enrollment, discount, and revenue.
