Slippery Rock University: Managing Enrollment and Financial Aid in a Challenging Environment


Amanda Yale, Chief Enrollment Management Officer, talks about how the partnership with RNL provides key data and insights to guide enrollment and financial aid strategies.

Slippery Rock University of Pennsylvania has enjoyed remarkable success, even during challenging COVID times:

  • Yield rates and FAFSA filer rates were both nearly 10 percentage points above the national average for public schools.
  • Yield of needy students rose 4 percentage points from last year for the fall of 2021.
  • At the same time, Slippery Rock has held the discount rate at almost half of the national public school average.
  • The university is also increasing their nonresident students at a time when most schools are witnessing a decline in out-of-state enrollments.

The university achieved these results using RNL’s financial aid solutions and predictive modeling. Watch the video to hear more about how Slippery Rock and RNL have partnered together to help the university succeed even in a challenging environment.
