Arbol helps institutions streamline support, enhance retention, and break down financial barriers with personalized guidance and actionable insights. Simplify the student financial experience and drive success across your campus
Demo ArbolThe idea for Arbol came to our co-founders through their firsthand experiences trying to navigate the complexities of student finances. They saw that the problem was not just about cost but also about confusion, fragmented resources, and a lack of personalized support that creates barriers for students and overwhelms institutions.
For institutions, disconnected systems make it difficult to deliver the proactive and seamless support students need to succeed. Our co-founders knew there had to be a better way.
That is why they collaborated with experts from every department involved in the student financial experience, including financial aid, student accounts, scholarships, and support services, along with leaders in technology, finance, and design.
Together, they built a unified platform to simplify the student financial journey.
