SUMMARY
DESCRIPTION
An organization in South Carolina is seeking a hosted, web-based platform designed to support college planning and provide financial aid guidance for students and families. The platform should deliver personalized assistance to help users understand financial aid options, generate customized net cost projections for selected colleges, and identify affordable institutions fitting their academic and personal needs. Central features include generating tailored Student Aid Index (SAI) values according to both the Federal Methodology (FM) and Institutional Methodology (IM) for a wide range of colleges.
The solution should also offer a searchable private scholarship database, tools to evaluate strategies for covering college expenses, and guidance on suitable public and private loan options based on individual circumstances. Additionally, the platform must provide an administrative dashboard, allowing school counselors and administrators to monitor student engagement and progress throughout the college planning process.
Interested vendors must ensure all questions pertinent to this opportunity are submitted by February 10, 2026. A non-mandatory pre-bid meeting is also scheduled for this date.
