The Challenge


"If it takes 100 applications to get four enrollments, the institution still has to process 100 files and issue 100 offers. High rates of refusal continue to plague institutions' ability to increase the matriculation of international students."
Etienne Carbonneau, as quoted in Access Denied: High Refusal Rates of Study Permits an Issue at Francophone Universities


The Solution


Funds Validator can dramatically improve that abysmal, unsustainable 4% conversion rate -- and similar single-digit yields across top English-speaking host countries. FV specifically addresses the financial capacity requirement so all stakeholders can proceed with confidence during the due diligence phase of the application process.
