Student Financial Services Consulting assessment and evaluation can consist of two components that will provide optimized solutions and quality assistance for all constituencies. The goal of achieving institutional maximum net revenues from properly structured processes is a cornerstone for the work conducted by the Consulting Director(s) of focusEDU.

Programs and services required to reduce student financial burdens for incurred educational costs are key components of the work conducted by focusEDU in using best practices. Such practices are espoused by NACUBO. We encourage institutional leaders to discuss either or both of these components with us to determine how our Consulting Directors can best meet your institutional needs.

"Denny DeSantis is a stellar educator, author and businessman who was a pleasure to work with. He always offered tremendous leadership and insight to the projects he worked on and gained much respect from the participants with his actions. Having high ethical values, and the ability to build trusting relationships, have also been a strong suit for Denny. It will be a blessing to work with a man of Denny's character again in the future."
