The Higher Education Assistance Group, Inc. (HEAG) is actively seeking Financial Aid Consultants to work with our higher education clients throughout the country that utilize the Ellucian Colleague software platform. We are looking for candidates with at least 7 years of recent, direct responsibilities in a Financial Aid Office such as setting up Ellucian Colleague systems for new aid award years. Prior financial aid consulting experience is a plus, but not mandatory.
Consultants must be able to fill interim positions for a diverse base of client schools, with direct knowledge of complex compliance issues. Candidates must be competent and well versed in the compliant administration of Title IV Student Financial Aid Programs and able to manage responsibilities in a strategic, yet functional capacity. Candidates must have strong Ellucian Colleague or other FA Student Information System experience, including Department of Education software.
Successful candidates will have excellent communication skills and demonstrated ability to work independently in a mostly remote capacity. Contracted assignments can be both short and long term and may include travel (very little during the current pandemic but some requests do occur). Hours can also vary by assignment. We assign candidates based on their availability and place them to succeed within their strongest skill-sets and background in the school’s SIS utilization.
