Case Study: University of Dayton increases education access with Ellucian Raise Me

University of Dayton boosts access and record Pell Grant-eligible enrollment with Ellucian

The University of Dayton, a private university, faced the challenge of making its institution appear financially accessible to prospective students early in their high school careers. Their existing strategies did not effectively reach freshmen and sophomores or provide personalized net-price information. To address this, they partnered with the vendor Ellucian and its service Raise Me.

By implementing Ellucian's Raise Me platform, the university could offer micro-scholarships for student achievements, illuminating the true cost of attendance. This solution provided recruitment counselors with up-to-date student data for highly personalized and targeted outreach. As a result, Ellucian helped the University of Dayton build a larger, more diverse applicant pool, yielding students with higher GPAs and retention rates, including record numbers of Pell Grant-eligible and multicultural students.
