- Review financial aid eligibility through the National Student Loan Database System (NSLDS) and Common Originations and Disbursement System (COD).
- Stay up to date on policy changes and attend required training sessions.
### What You Bring:
✔️ Experience: 3+ years in financial processing roles such as Mortgage Loan Officer, Underwriter, Financial Aid Processor, or similar.
✔️ Attention to Detail: Comfortable working with numbers, financial records, and documentation accuracy.
✔️ Problem-Solving Skills: Ability to analyze information, ask the right questions, and find solutions independently.
✔️ Process-Oriented Mindset: Comfortable handling repetitive tasks while maintaining efficiency and accuracy.
✔️ Self-Motivated & Independent: Ability to work remotely with limited supervision. A dedicated home office and reliable internet are required.
✔️ Ability to Meet Daily Goals: After training, expected to process 21 files per day.
✔️ Training Commitment: Full attendance required for the first two months, including four weeks of structured training (6 AM MST start time), followed by two weeks of flexible work and another four weeks of additional training.
✔️ Adaptability & Eagerness to Learn: Open to feedback, comfortable with policy/procedure changes, and willing to develop expertise in federal financial aid programs.
✔️ Basic Math Skills: Comfortable performing simple calculations.
✔️ Tech-Savvy: Able to attend Zoom meetings/training with the camera on.
