COLUMBIA, Md., Feb. 13, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- In response to the nationwide increase in application fraud, Butler Community College is taking decisive action to protect its students and resources by implementing Voyatek's Admissions Fraud Firewall.
Admissions fraud has been on the rise across higher education since 2020, when the rapid pivot to online classes made it easier for bad actors to fly under the radar. By impersonating real students, fraudsters can potentially access internal systems, use student credentials to launch phishing attacks, or apply for financial aid. Additionally, fraudulent applications create more work for staff, delay application processing, and tie up seats in courses.
Voyatek's Admissions Fraud Firewall, an adaptive-AI, cloud-based solution, leverages sophisticated algorithms and a comprehensive array of data sources to proactively assess student applications. This automated approach not only minimizes human error but also dramatically decreases manual processing, allowing staff to dedicate more time to serving genuine students and applicants.
"Fraud tactics are becoming more and more sophisticated, and manual approaches to addressing them simply can't keep up," said John Van Weeren, VP, Higher Ed at Voyatek. "By implementing Admissions Fraud Firewall, Butler is demonstrating its commitment to safeguarding its community and ensuring that their resources are allocated to deserving students."
Voyatek recently announced that it will integrate cutting-edge digital identity verification and fraud prevention capabilities into Admissions Fraud Firewall via its partnership with Socure, significantly enhancing the detection and prevention of fraud in admissions, financial aid, and enrollment processes.
Valuable insights uncovered by Voyatek's fraud prevention solutions have helped Voyatek's clients reduce their manual review workloads by up to 80%, save an average of $172k annually on fraudulent financial aid disbursements, and realize a 10x return on investment in the first year of deployment.
