• Certify Title IV loans and process updates or adjustments
• Prepare and distribute financial aid award letters

• Stay current on financial aid regulations and ensure compliance
• Provide general administrative and phone support as needed

Required:

• High school diploma or GED
• 2+ years of experience in customer service or financial aid-related work
• Strong attention to detail and comfort working with numbers and data
• Excellent communication and organizational skills
• Proficiency with computers and standard office software

Preferred:

• Training or coursework in financial aid or a related field

• You communicate clearly and empathetically with diverse student populations
• You’re proactive, dependable, and committed to follow-through
• You thrive in a fast-paced, team-oriented environment
• You’re adaptable and willing to support other departments or campuses when needed

We offer a competitive compensation package along with a strong suite of benefits to support you:

• Medical, dental, and vision insurance
• Company-paid long-term disability (LTD)
• Supplemental benefits options
• 401(k) with company match
• Generous paid time off (PTO) package

You’ll be part of a mission-driven team dedicated to helping students succeed. Your work will have a direct impact on students’ ability to access education and achieve their goals.
