Why are financial aid professionals leaving in such large numbers?

Burnout, increased workloads, low pay, and a difficult FAFSA rollout have contributed to a wave of resignations across financial aid offices.

How fast can BPS provide interim staff?

We have a deep bench of experienced professionals who can often be placed within days, depending on your specific needs.

Is this just a temporary fix?

No. BPS focuses on sustainable improvements, combining short-term support with long-term planning, training, and best-practice implementation.
