What it is
FINANCIER is WolffPack’s web-based financial aid management system for higher education. It supports federal regulatory compliance and processing across multiple years and campuses. Applicant records can arrive electronically from the Central Processor or other outside sources, while applicants can also enter and review data online. Staff can assign required documents from student attributes or fund awards, track application status, and issue initial or follow-up requests. Verification runs online or in batches with configurable levels and tolerances. Need analysis supports Federal and Institutional Methodologies and calculates EFC online or in batch. Budgeting provides eight components with unlimited values based on student attributes. Award packaging uses student characteristics and user-defined criteria with unlimited formulas. Direct Loan support covers origination, certification, promissory notes, servicer exchange, disbursement, and reconciliation. Payment transactions can post online or in batches, with electronic Pell Grant records generated from disbursement activity. Event History, Student Audit, and Award Audit provide process and award review.
