School and Student Services® (SSS) is becoming Ravenna Financial Aid®, joining Ravenna Admissions® within the VenturEd Enrollment Suite to create a more connected enrollment experience for schools.
The new name reflects closer alignment with Ravenna Admissions, while building on SSS’s decades of financial aid expertise to support the full enrollment journey—from inquiry through financial aid and enrollment decisions.
A Seamless Transition for Schools
While the name is evolving, the experience for schools is not changing.
Ravenna Financial Aid will continue to operate exactly as it did previously under the SSS name — using the same workflows, access, and functionality schools rely on.
No action is required from schools, and there are no changes to how the system is used or how financial aid processes are managed.
This transition reflects how admissions and financial aid are increasingly managed together across schools.
A More Connected Enrollment Experience
Bringing financial aid and admissions under the Ravenna brand strengthens how schools experience enrollment across the entire lifecycle.
With Ravenna Admissions and Ravenna Financial Aid working together within the VenturEd Enrollment Suite™, schools benefit from more consistent data and a more streamlined flow of information between systems.
Admissions and financial aid are now more closely aligned—supporting a unified enrollment process from inquiry through final decision.
Why Schools Trust Ravenna Financial Aid
Ravenna Financial Aid carries forward the trusted foundation of School and Student Services (SSS), bringing more than 50 years of financial aid expertise under a name more closely aligned with Ravenna Admissions.
While the name is new, the strengths schools have long relied on remain the same—proven methodology, reliable financial data, and modern tools that help schools make fair, confident, and mission-aligned aid decisions.
Schools choose Ravenna Financial Aid for:
- IRS-verified financial data that helps reduce document collection and improve accuracy
- A simplified family application experience that minimizes complexity and saves time
- Integrated workflows that connect financial aid with admissions and tuition systems
- Real-time reporting and insights for smarter planning, budgeting, and award decisions
- A complete view of family finances, including complex income sources such as businesses and real estate
The result is a financial aid process that is more efficient for staff, easier for families, and more informed for school leaders.
The VenturEd Enrollment Suite
Ravenna Financial Aid is part of the VenturEd Enrollment Suite, a connected set of solutions that brings admissions, financial aid, and enrollment together in one system.
This integrated approach reduces fragmentation, improves visibility, and supports more confident decision-making across the enrollment lifecycle.
