One of the helpful features Payment Planner provides for students and financial aid administrators is Task Emails, an automatic email function that eliminates the need for mail reminders. With this function, schools can automatically generate emails based on students’ statuses, without searching through files to find what they need. The emails are used to remind students that they have outstanding tasks which must be completed before their financial aid packages are finalized.  The student receives the email reminder at the address provided in the student data file. 

Task Emails are a dramatic improvement over snail mail reminders. Instead of dealing with scattered paperwork, students can stay on top of their financial aid process the same way they track their social lives on Facebook— with reminder emails. Schools, on the other hand, save money and resources that they previously would have spent on printing, mailing, and sorting. Financial aid administrators using Payment Planner save time and energy as well; all they have to do is enter the text of the email, quickly assign the email to a task, choose the time period when the email is active, define how often students will receive the email, and select how many emails a student will receive. 

Convenient, easy-to-use, and cost effective, Task Emails are just one of the features Payment Planner offers to facilitate the financial aid process for all parties involved. Just set it, forget it, and let the Payment Planner email function help automate the financial aid process.
