Our Solutions
Enrollment, Secured. Ardeo’s enrollment solutions help colleges and universities increase enrollment and net tuition revenue by overcoming the fear of student loan debt.
Ardeo’s Enrollment Solutions
Maximum Growth
Client institutions that offer Ardeo’s Loan Repayment Assistance Programs (LRAPs) to all incoming first-year students and eligible transfers see the biggest benefit in the tool. By differentiating their offer with LRAPs, colleges stand out from their competitors and increase engagement earlier in the recruitment cycle.
Targeted Growth
Many institutions market their LRAPs to pre-qualified groups of students to boost yield among targeted populations, for example specific majors, non-athletes, out-of-state students, traditionally underserved student populations, transfers, and prospects with specific unmet need.
Late-Cycle Yield
With LRAPs, it’s never too late to enroll more students before your cohort census date. Moving unresponsive prospects to deposit and enroll is one of the most popular LRAP strategies our clients implement to boost yield. Learn how to engage unresponsive prospects and mitigate summer melt.
Individual Student Response
Whether you have goals to support first-generation students or financially at-risk populations, offering an LRAP can help. You can shape your class with LRAPs by addressing key affordability and cost concerns.
Student Loan Insurance
With Ardeo’s Student Loan Insurance, institutions can increase access for students who may feel financially shut out at no cost to their college or university. Learn more about this new elective insurance.

Watch NowWhy Offer Students an LRAP?
Here are three quick reasons why colleges and universities should offer loan repayment assistance programs (LRAPs) to their students and families:
It’s good for students.
Prospects and families benefit from the student loan safety net at no cost to them. The program also encourages retention and completion.
It’s a low-risk, high-reward tool.
Enrollment professionals can offer the program to as many or as few students as they want. Then, Ardeo goes to work to engage and educate students about LRAPs.
Cash flow positive.

Why Make Student Loan Insurance Available?
Student Loan Insurance provides the same significant protection against burdensome student loan payments as LRAPs, but allows the student and family to opt in and pay for their coverage. You can make Student Loan Insurance available to your students at no cost to your university.
Here are 3 reasons why you should make Student Loan Insurance available to your students:
Provides financial peace of mind by helping repay student and parent loans after graduation if the graduate’s income is modest.
Empowers students to attend their preferred college or university.
Improves access to higher education, and encourages retention and completion.
A Pervasive Problem, Our Practical Solutions
Concerns about cost and student loan debt are still significant barriers to enrollment for many students and families. So often, the prospect who says, “I can’t afford it,” really means that they are reluctant to borrow the necessary student (and parent) loans to attend an institution.
Ardeo’s student loan safety nets directly address those concerns and positively impact enrollment decisions. With more than 200 clients and 30,000 students covered, our enrollment tools are proven solutions.
