Verification
We help review FAFSA and ISIR data, identify missing documents, compare submitted records, find conflicting information, and prepare files for resolution.
NineSweep
AI for the financial aid back office
Financial aid teams are buried in manual reviews, missing-document queues, SAP appeals, verification files, award checks, and compliance work.
NineSweep helps financial aid offices clear that work faster.
Our AI signs into the systems staff already use, reviews student records, applies institutional rules, and returns a documented recommendation with the evidence attached.
We do not replace financial aid staff.
We give them back the time to help students.
The Problem
Financial aid offices are being asked to do too much with too little time.
The same staff member who answers student calls is often also responsible for verification, packaging, SAP appeals, disbursement checks, scholarship updates, loan certification, and audit documentation.
That creates backlogs.
Backlogs delay aid.
Delayed aid creates stress for students, families, and staff.
The work is not just high-volume. It is high-stakes. Every decision must be accurate, explainable, and compliant.
Our Mission
Our mission is to make financial aid work faster, clearer, and more humane.
Students should not wait weeks because a file is sitting in a queue.
Staff should not spend their best hours copying data between systems, chasing missing documents, or manually checking the same rules over and over.
NineSweep automates the repetitive back-office work so financial aid professionals can focus on judgment, counseling, and student support.
What We Automate
NineSweep is built for the financial aid tasks that slow offices down.
SAP Appeals
We help review satisfactory academic progress records, apply institutional policy, summarize appeal materials, and produce a recommended decision with supporting evidence.
Eligibility Checks
We help check enrollment, budgets, awards, loan limits, Pell eligibility, outside scholarships, and over-award issues.
R2T4 and Withdrawal Reviews
We help calculate and document return-of-Title-IV reviews so offices can handle high-risk compliance work with more confidence.
Reconciliation and Exceptions
We help identify mismatches across aid systems, spreadsheets, ledgers, and federal portals, then explain what needs human attention.
How It Works
NineSweep works like a trained financial aid assistant.
- It receives a student ID or queue.
- It signs into approved systems.
- It gathers the required screens and documents.
- It applies the school’s rules and policies.
- It returns a recommendation.
- It attaches the evidence trail.
The final decision stays with the institution.
NineSweep does the review work. Your team stays in control.
Why This Matters
Financial aid delays can stop a student from registering, buying books, paying rent, or staying enrolled.
For staff, the pressure is constant: more files, more rules, more interruptions, and fewer people available to do the work.
NineSweep exists because financial aid professionals should not have to choose between helping the student in front of them and clearing the queue behind them.
Built For Existing Systems
Financial aid work happens across many tools: student information systems, federal portals, document imaging systems, spreadsheets, email inboxes, and internal queues.
NineSweep is designed to work with the systems schools already have.
- No SIS migration.
- No major integration project.
- No new platform for staff to learn before seeing value.
Our Promise
- We will not automate blindly.
- We will not take irreversible action without approval.
- We will not hide the reasoning.
Every recommendation should be traceable, reviewable, and defensible.
Financial aid is too important for black-box automation.
