SAS and Resultant Contract Renewals: Enabling Timely, Data-Informed Decisions
SAS institutions work to improve student outcomes while safeguarding financial aid and addressing risks, turning data into timely, coordinated action is essential.
MHEC is preparing to renew its cooperative agreement with SAS Institute and extend its agreement with Resultant. These competitively cooperative agreements provide access to advanced analytics, artificial intelligence, data management, and decision-support tools. They are anticipated to run through June 2030 for eligible institutions across member states.
Renewals come amid heightened scrutiny of financial controls and student eligibility. National attention on financial aid fraud and ghost student activity underscores the need to identify anomalies, strengthen oversight, accelerate response, and flag at-risk students earlier for intervention.
The issue is not whether to invest in analytics, but how to act on insight. Fragmented systems, inconsistent data, and unclear decision ownership delay action, limiting risk response and student success. Advanced analytics and AI surface patterns, but value depends on clear roles, accountability, and coordinated action.
Through these renewals, MHEC provides access to leading solutions and a shared framework to translate insight into action, strengthening institutional resilience and student success.
