Overview

The concept of Meteor™ began in spring 2000 when a number of leading financial aid executives recognized a need for a common, timely, student-specific financial aid resource.It can now be described as the following:

• Meteor is a shared effort of leading FFELP business partners who have chosen to contribute financial and/or human resources to the project

• Meteor software is made available to  students  and  schools by providing debt management services to  borrowers and to aid schools in the administration of student aid programs  by providing aggregated, real-time access to financial aid award data.

• Meteor provides information on FFELP loans. Over time, the sponsors’ vision is that Meteor™ will include: Direct Student Loans, Perkins Loans, Pell Grants, State Grants and Alternative Loans.

Meteor is designed to provide the following benefits: 

• Ability to access timely, student-specific financial aid information from multiple sources. You will receive a list of loans for each student borrower researched.

• Provide a one-stop, common, on-line customer service resource

• Enhance ability of participants to provide web capable products

The project advisory team is being led by the following individuals:
