Users of the Naviance platform will now have
easier access to offers of college admission and financial aid via
EAB’s Concourse technology
PowerSchool (NYSE: PWSC), the leading provider of cloud-based
software for K-12 education in North America, and EAB, the leading
provider of higher education research, technology, and enrollment
solutions, today announced a partnership to provide high school
students easy access to proactive offers of college admission and
financial aid.
The partnership expands the availability of EAB’s
student-college matching technology, Concourse, to the more than
three million high school juniors and seniors who use PowerSchool
Naviance CCLR to prepare for college and careers. Beginning in
2024, Naviance students will be able to easily create anonymous
profiles and receive direct offers of college admission and
scholarships—with no applications required. Both Concourse and
Naviance feature strong privacy controls to protect students
searching for colleges and scholarships.
“We’ve seen firsthand the difficulties many students face during
the college admission process,” said Amy Reitz, Group Vice
President of Product at PowerSchool. “We’re thrilled to partner
with EAB to make college admissions more accessible for more
students, driving equity and support for historically underserved
students.”
Around 40 percent of US high school students have access to
Naviance. Naviance provides a comprehensive postsecondary planning
solution for districts, schools, students, and parents. Even with
strong supports in place, applying to college can still be costly
and cumbersome for many students—particularly students from
families with lower incomes or those who are the first in their
families to attend college. As a result, many eligible and
interested students opt out of the college application process each
year.
“EAB is committed to helping colleges recruit diverse classes of
students through best-in-class technology such as Concourse and
initiatives such as College Greenlight that help underserved
students access higher education,” said Chris Marett, President of
EAB Enrollment Solutions. “We are excited to extend the
availability of Concourse to reach even more students—and make it
simple and seamless for those students to get proactive offers of
college admission and aid.”
Since 2020, higher education institutions have used Concourse to
make almost 60,000 admission offers—and offered more than two
billion dollars in financial aid—to students. Students do not need
to apply or pay an application fee to participate. Fast Company
recently named EAB’s reverse admissions solution a 2023 World
Changing Idea.
“By enabling more direct outreach to high schools and community
organizations, this partnership with PowerSchool and Naviance will
enhance our efforts to help millions of students pursue their
postsecondary aspirations,” Marett continued.
