Our History
Since 1996 Global has focused exclusively on an efficient and customer-focused model for financial aid processing. Since inception we have managed 5 million student files, maintained full compliance with federal regulations, and improved the financial aid operation of institutions from all segments of higher education.
Global's owners and principal leaders come from a higher education background and always focus on a client's needs first. At Global we recognize the expectations of students, the needs of college leadership, the demands of the current economic environment and the long-term advantage of low-cost, best-practice models for administrative processes.
In 2011 Global managed the financial aid administration operation for 627,000 students at 440 campuses and disbursed $2.2 billion in federal financial aid. We are SAS 70 Level 2 audited and the largest third party financial aid servicer in the United States.

Our Future
Global understands the critical need for the United States to produce more college graduates to achieve economic prosperity. Higher education institutions will remain a national priority. Moving forward students will rely on financial aid to finance their college education more than ever, and institutions will be expected to meet demand while keeping administrative costs and tuition low.
This growing need for federal financial aid and increase in regulations will continue to place strain on the administrative resources at your institution. Global can help streamline processes and reduce administrative costs and seasonal hiring needs. We will remain committed to excellence in customer service and administrative efficiency.
