AidTrack gives colleges a single dashboard to manage Workforce Pell program approvals, student eligibility, and post-graduation job placement — all tied to the 70% placement requirement.
States are approving programs one-by-one, but most colleges have no system to track which of their programs are approved, pending, or rejected — across all 50 states.
Financial aid offices are tracking student Workforce Pell eligibility in spreadsheets. With prorated awards and state-specific rules, errors are inevitable — and costly for students.
Programs that don't hit 70% job placement lose eligibility. Most colleges have no system to follow graduates into employment. This is a compliance landmine.
