Modernizing State Aid with Google Cloud

State agencies managing financial aid programs are under growing pressure. Legacy systems are difficult to maintain, manual processes slow down operations and thousands of students who need access to aid cannot complete the FAFSA. When a state Department of Higher Education faced these exact challenges, they needed a modern, scalable solution built for today's regulatory and accessibility demands. What did that transformation look like and what can your state learn from it?

Join us to discover how Nelnet and Google Cloud partnered to deliver GrantPro Pathway, a secure, cloud-based financial aid application platform that reduced administrative burden, improved student access and modernized operations so your agency can do the same.

In this webinar, you will learn how:

  • A state agency successfully replaced a legacy financial aid application system with a modern, cloud-native platform and what it takes to get there in a regulated environment.

  • Google Cloud enables faster deployment, greater scalability and an AI-ready foundation that supports current programs and future growth.

  • Automating eligibility processing and data handling can dramatically reduce manual workload while improving accuracy and compliance.

  • Partnering with a mission-aligned organization like Nelnet means working with a team that understands the complexity of public sector education, brings proven Google Cloud delivery expertise and is committed to outcomes that serve students and agencies alike.
