Higher One adds first Rhode Island school

Friday, July 3, 2009

The University of Rhode Island, Kingston, has signed on with financial services provider Higher One to handle financial aid refunds due students. It’s the first institution in the state to go with the New Haven, Conn. company and means the school can eliminate the printing, processing and mailing of about 20,000 refund checks a year while providing students with quicker access to their funds. [end] 

Northland Pioneer College in Holbrook, Arizona has selected Higher One to help electronically distribute Financial Aid and scholarship refund disbursements to students.

Currently, students can only receive their refunds by a paper check, which means administrations spend long hours printing, stuffing, and organizing checks while students wait even longer to receive them.
