The Most Common Financial Aid Systems Used by SIS

Financial Aid Student Information Systems
The Most Common Financial Aid Systems by SIS - LisTedTECH

We have been ramping up our Financial Aid Systems (FinAid) data and noticed that, a few years ago, there was a big change in the alignment of the FinAid. Each company seemed to want a strong module to help solidify their suite of products. This is why the big SIS vendors went on a shopping spree:

  • In 2018, Oracle purchased Vocado;

  • In 2018, Campus Management purchased Education Partners;

  • In 2017, Blackbaud acquired AcademicWorks;

  • In 2015, Unit4 purchased Three Rivers Systems and obtained the CAMS financial aid module.

The result is what you see in the table below. The columns are student information systems (SIS) and the rows are Financial Aid Systems. If you look at each column, you will see that the highest percentage is actually its own counterpart.

The independent (not owned by SIS vendors) are as follows:

  • Financial Aid Services

  • The College Board

  • CampusLogic

  • Regent Education

  • AwardSpring

  • Sigma System

  • Scholarship Solutions

Notes on our data:

We used over 2,500 financial aid implementations to build the table above. Only institutions that had both an SIS and a Financial Aid System implementation info were selected for the table.

Who Are HigherEd’s Tech Leaders?

This year, I’ve been revisiting some of the classic business books: Blue Ocean Shift, Free, The Innovator’s Dilemma, Zero to One, and of course, Crossing the Chasm. That last one really got me thinking about early adopters. In tech markets, they’re the people (or in HigherEd, the institutions) who are comfortable taking risks, trying something new, and shaping the market ... Who Are HigherEd’s Tech Leaders?  Read More

Anthology’s Chapter 11 Filing: Breaking Up to Refocus

September 2025 marked a major turning point for Anthology, the owner of Blackboard and several other higher education technology platforms. The company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in the U.S. after efforts to sell itself or parts of its business outside of court failed. The filing is not a liquidation. Instead, it is a structured reorganization designed to ... Anthology’s Chapter 11 Filing: Breaking Up to Refocus  Read More

Rethinking Market Saturation in EdTech

Market saturation is a concept we often discuss at ListEdTech because it comes up frequently with our clients. Investors want to know if a market still has room to grow, while startups want to understand whether they are entering a space with opportunities or one that is already crowded. Last year, we explored saturation by ... Rethinking Market Saturation in EdTech  Read More
