On April 15, 2020, Pace University signed the Funding Certification and Agreement for the Emergency Financial Aid Grants to Students.

Pace identified 7,411 students who were deemed Title IV eligible as of April 21, 2020. This following allocation methodology was reviewed and approved by the University’s Board of Trustees. The amount of each grant was calculated by taking the total award of $4,281,053 and equally allocating the funds to (i) all 7,411 students eligible to participate in programs under Section 484 in Title IV of the Higher Education Act of 1985 and therefore eligible to receive Emergency Financial Aid Grants under Sections 18004(a)(1) of the CARES Act , who had (ii) filed valid FAFSA forms by April 21, 2020, and (iii) were not exclusively online students prior to March 13, 2020.

Educational Partnerships

Pace University Marketing Arrangements and Partnerships

Pace partners with several third-party organizations which provide marketing, recruitment and some educational services:

AllCampus. Pace Online partners with AllCampus to provide marketing, student recruitment, and lead generation for several online degree programs. AllCampus refers prospective students to Pace. All admissions, and academic program decisions are made by Pace University.

Kaplan International Pathways provides marketing and student recruitment services to prospective students outside the United States. Kaplan refers prospective students to Pace. Kaplan may assist students in ensuring their application is complete, and may advise students on non-academic matters (i.e., travel, finding living arrangements, adapting to life as a student in the U.S.). Pace makes all admissions decisions, and determines the criteria under which students are admitted. Pace provides all academic programming. Kaplan and Pace together set the curriculum for the Pathways Program.

International Agents. Pace University uses a network of independent recruiters to augment its pipeline of prospective international students. The University selects, evaluates and trains independent recruiters in a variety of countries so they can present Pace as one of the options available to their clients who want to travel abroad to earn a degree. Recruiters help Pace build brand awareness and provide access to markets that are often remote and unfamiliar. Recruiters help prospective students by providing information about the application process to colleges and universities outside their home countries. They may also provide services such as pre-departure briefings, English language classes, standardized test prep, flight and accommodation bookings, and career guidance and job placement services upon the student’s return home. Independent recruiters wishing to represent Pace must apply and sign an agreement. Recruiters do not admit or deny students who have applied to Pace and they do not prepare any Visa related materials. Pace makes all admissions decisions according to its admissions criteria. Pace University began the practice of working with independent recruiters in the 2011 and has since added 60+ other agencies marketing in over 50+ countries.
