How Does Tuition Management Work? What Does Smart Do? How Does Smart Compare? Why Use Smart? Who Uses Smart? What Do People Say About Smart? Who Works at Smart? How to Contact Smart? Care to Ask Smart a Question? Care to See an Online Presentation of How Smart Helps? Care to Attend a Local, In-person Seminar on Smart?

2000 schools answered that question with lots of answers when they individually chose to adopt our program at their school. Here are the five most popular reasons that are used by the hundreds of new Smart Tuition schools signing up every year.

Parents Need More Services Than Ever. As education has grown and begun a technological revolution, so has bill presentation and payment services. Schools cannot afford to offer parents the options they expect without the use of an outside company. Smart solves this problem by giving parents an online view of their payments, online payment methods, phone payments, and monthly invoices. In a survey conducted by Smart Tuition in 2005, 93% of parents responded by saying that the services that Smart Tuition provided were useful, necessary, and worth the incurred expense.
Parents Make Payments Later Than Ever. In a recent survey conducted by First Data, the average American household pays 1 in 4 of their bills past the due date. When the household has one or more children, the parent(s) are 75% more likely to make a payment late. Smart Tuition helps guide more on-time payments by offering parents automatic bank or credit card debits, follow-up calls & emails for those parents who miss payments, and a complete partnership with the school to get 100% of the parents to pay by year’s end.
Administrative Staff Can’t Be Burdened With All That Has To Be Done Related to Tuition Management. Besides not being able to afford all of the tools that Smart Tuition extends to parents, school administrators have higher priorities than making deposits at the bank, data entry for each payment that arrives at the school, and creating reports that reflect what school boards and parent organizations need to see. We work tirelessly day and night to make sure that your school can concentrate on being the best educational institution it can be.
Hours of operations. Parents that work two jobs or those who work 9-5 won’t be able to drop off payments and reach someone to talk about their accounts. Smart Tuition offers a 24-hour customer service center, open 365 days per year. When your school is closed, we’ll be there to answer parent problems, and take parent phone payments.
Highest Level of Professionals Working For Your School. Our executive team has more than 150 years of experience working with private and parochial schools. We have former principals, business managers, technology directors, and teachers on staff. Some of our staff pay tuition for their own children at Smart schools. Our team becomes your team, and our expertise from working with over 2000 schools becomes your expertise.
