The problem

A student loan application is one of the biggest money decisions a family makes, usually at the kitchen table, usually after dark. The old journey split that night across several systems, and families stalled in the gaps.

The result

We rebuilt it as one journey from the first marketing touch to a funded loan, and more families finished what they started.

The rest of this study is under NDA. The password unlocks all three.
