What Clients Say About Us

We have been using Global Financial Aid Services Inc. as our third-party financial aid servicer for almost a year now and we are consistently impressed by the level of customer service that we receive. Recently, we were looking for assistance in updating our Financial Aid Policy and Procedure Manual and reviewing our Consumer Information. We researched other consulting firms, but couldn’t find exactly what we were looking for. After a call with our Global Customer Service Director, Brenda, we were happy to learn that Global also provides consulting services. After discussing our needs with the COO, Chyrl Ayers, we were assigned to work with Rick Cox, Global’s Executive Director of Regulatory Affairs and Compliance. Rick went above and beyond on both projects. He was efficient, knowledgeable, and an absolute pleasure to work with. Both projects were completed ahead of schedule and the price that Global charged was well below the other consulting firms that we researched. Global’s knowledge and customer service is truly next level. I’ve never worked with a company so responsive to their customer’s needs and I would highly recommend them to anyone.
– Michael Crosby, Director of Financial Aid, Douglas Education Center

Having worked with Global, including onboarding them at multiple institutions, for well over a decade I can truly say my experience has been exceptional. Most recently, in order to best serve our students in addition to creating greater access and efficiencies, we transitioned our fully online programs to the Saint Student financial aid software. Their professional team walked us through the process step by step creating workflows customized around our operations with a focus on what is important to our students and institution. The team’s continued follow up and training have gone above and beyond. Global has a truly unique way of partnering!
– Jon McFry, Vice President, Compliance, Martinsburg College

It’s user-friendly for the student. The onboarding process was immaculate. I thought that was a huge success. And it really has been a resource staffing-wise. If you don’t have that depth in your back office, Global is really that bridge.
– Audra Hinton, Director of Enrollment Management, Shorter College

Working with Global Financial Aid Services and using their FISAP Services has been awesome for us. Their expertise and careful handling of our FISAP reporting has made the whole process so much smoother, making sure everything’s accurate and compliant, which is important to us. Not only has this partnership saved us time and resources, but it’s also freed us up to focus more on our students. It’s such a relief knowing our FISAP reporting is in expert hands. Global and their FISAP Services have truly been a key partner for us.
– Kasie Hadley, Vice President, Financial Aid, Neumont College of Computer Science

Global’s platform for students and the institution streamlines the financial aid process. It allows for efficient delivery of financial aid to our students and recordkeeping for our school. I rest easier being confident that Global stands by the quality of their work. During the difficult times of the COVID-19 crisis, Global has continued to provide us uninterrupted and excellent customer service. I am happy to have this partnership with Global.
– Heyward Howell, Director of Student Financial Services, Conservatory of Recording Arts & Sciences

Global has increased productivity and allowed us to focus on students who need our attention instead of spending time on document review of clean files. We’re thrilled with results from SAINT Student.

– Chris McCool, Vice President, Financial Aid Operations, Southern Careers Institute
