Student enrollment in Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) has been exhibiting a declining trend, and the pandemic and economic downturn threw in an additional degree of uncertainty. Low-income and first-generation college students are contributing to this shift in a significant way. Compounding the problem is the persistent issue of summer melt, where students who intended to join fail to actually enroll, causing a serious dent in projected admission numbers.
To adapt to these evolving realities, HEIs must find new ways to engage with prospective students, tailor their acquisition strategies, advance student journeys, and deliver enhanced student experiences. At the same time, they must explore transformative methods to increase revenue and tap deeper into their alumni and donor networks for endowments. AI solutions go a long way in addressing these multifaceted challenges.
Boosting student enrollment with AI and ML-driven insights
AI and ML models can analyze large volumes of internal and public data—ranging from academic performance to demographic trends—to identify high-potential student segments. These insights help institutions target best-fit applicants, particularly from underserved communities, while reducing marketing and outreach costs. The result: improved enrollment, increased equity, and better ROI.
