Deliver a FAFSA-like Experience

 

Regent Access converts the cumbersome, paper-based state financial aid application for students who are not US citizens into a user-friendly, responsive online experience that mirrors the FAFSA. 

In production statewide in Colorado, Oregon, Virginia, and Washington, Massachusetts, Regent Access minimizes the time and resources required to process applications, while providing non-US citizens with an intuitive, automated experience that takes them one step closer to attaining a higher education degree. 

With Regent Access, your institution can be up and running with an online, FAFSA-like experience within 60 days of licensing. Regent Access also integrates with Regent Award, enabling you to automate the financial aid lifecycle across all education and enrollment models. As a result, you’ll increase efficiency, eliminate manual workflows and processes, promote smarter student borrowing, and exceed enrollment goals.

Eliminate Barriers to State Financial Aid Access

Gaining access to state financial aid is a challenge for non-US citizen student applicants. Manual, paper-based applications are frustrating for students and their families and inefficient for financial aid staff. To eliminate enrollment barriers, institutions need an automated and simplified application process.

“This partnership is another example of ways in which Virginia is extending equitable access to qualified students. Making financial aid available to these students will lead to more students gaining the credentials they need to improve not only their lives but those of generations to come.”
Lacey Thompson
Director of Operations for Student Financial Aid and Scholarships
University of North Texas
"Our goal is to create a financial aid application process for undocumented students that is equivalent to that of the FAFSA experience, and Regent Access has gotten us extremely close. Regent Access was very easy to implement, the Regent implementation team was great to work with, and the students have been pleased with the automation of the TASFA.”
Dr. Angie Paccione
Executive Director
Colorado Department of Higher Education (CDHE)
“Colorado Governor Jared Polis supports all Colorado students in their efforts to pursue a path beyond high school,. of CDHE. “This is a culmination of that support, giving our students greater access to an affordable postsecondary education or training experience. We’re pleased to see so many students applying for this state aid and we encourage more students to take advantage of the program.”
Neal J. Smatresk
President
University of North Texas
"These students aspire to a better life and are doing what our society asks of them — they work hard, study hard and play by the rules. We need to encourage them to stay focused, hopeful and invested in their education."
