Follett can provide credit for any number of funding programs at your campus – Financial Aid, Athletic Scholarship, Vocational Rehabilitation, Veteran’s Affairs, Corporate Sponsorships, Continuing Education Programs and more. With a simple file load, your campus can make funds available to use in the store and online within minutes. In addition, sales transactions can be provided back to your campus.

During the checkout process, your students can authenticate to view their available accounts, credit limit, and expiration dates as provided by your campus. Credit limits may be hidden from view per your campus preference. If restricted items are in the shopping cart, the student is prompted to pay for those items with another form of payment so they can seamlessly complete their order. Students can check their Financial Aid availability at any time in the My Account feature. Follett can tailor our systems to accommodate the security requests of your campus. As part of the file, your campus may provide a unique PIN or code that students will be required to submit before accessing their financial aid during online checkout.  

Follett’s Financial Aid Messaging Program puts effective communication front and center. We’ll develop an email that’s branded to your campus store and deploy the program on behalf of your campus — all at no cost to you. We handle all the heavy lifting, including data management, opt-out lists and email designs. The data populated in the email comes directly from the financial aid file that your IT administrator is already providing the campus bookstore. All you need to add to the file are the student email addresses. It’s that easy!
