About Third Coast Higher Education

Financial Aid offices face a number of challenges every day, reacting to the dynamic nature of federal and state regulations and law, as well as the higher education market. Unfortunately, the focus needed to look forward, as well as run offices and remain fully compliant, often occupies more attention of the management team than there is time for. This does not leave much consideration for business process improvements, as they become an afterthought. Third Coast Higher Education associates can assist Financial Aid and Admissions offices by guiding a number of process improvements, through evaluation and assessment of operations, training of staff and integration and best practice utilization of student information systems (SIS).

Third Coast Higher Education is unique among financial aid consulting firms, by employing an assessment-focused approach to all of our services. As active financial aid professionals, Third Coast does not merely review your business process and provide suggestions that will ultimately be ignored, due to lack of time and experience to implement. Instead, Third Coast Higher Education caters each engagement to provide you with recommendations and solutions that fit your institution as well as resources and support to allow you to implement real and necessary change. Third Coast Higher Education consultants bring the combined knowledge from more than 40 years of experience in Financial Aid management and are experts in financial aid operations, systems, training and compliance.
