Student-Centric

Oracle Student Financial Planning Cloud manages each student's financial plan independently and provides real-time visibility into a comprehensive, multiyear plan, enabling students to get instant feedback on the financial implications of their academic behavior and empowering them to make better informed academic and borrowing decisions.

Multiacademic Model Support

Most financial aid solutions are not able to address the new, flexible, and far more complex academic models required to accommodate the 21st-century learner. Student Financial Planning is designed specifically to simultaneously support all academic models—nonterm, standard term, nonstandard term, and competency-based education—giving institutions the flexibility to embrace new and innovative programs.

Comprehensive Fund Management

Student Financial Planning allows institutions to define an infinitely flexible set of funds—state grant, private loans, institutional grants/loans, scholarships, and more. It leverages data from all ecosystem software and matching public and private funding sources and criteria in real time to student financing requirements, allowing students the opportunity to take on less debt.

Actionable Analytics

Using a rules-based expert system architecture, Oracle has created a paradigm shift in the type and the way student finance and academic data is collected and managed. Real-time integration and management of student finance data and student lifecycle-event triggers enables the unique ability to perform predictive/prescriptive analytics on student lifecycle patterns, driving proactive actions to improve student outcomes and institutional performance.
