Faster access. Fewer barriers. Smarter workflows.

Families can apply for Student Assistance Scheme (STAS) support for levies online. A public education authority previously used manual forms and processing. In 2025, over 3,000 online applications were submitted through the service.

Intuit Technologies built an Azure application to streamline submissions, validate applications against the authority's data warehouse, and connect to STAS backend systems — improving experience and compliance.

The Problem

  • Paper-based forms created delays and duplication
  • High manual workload for families and administrators
  • No digital validation or automated processing

The Business Impact

  • Slow support to eligible families
  • Gaps and data inconsistencies
  • Elevated stress during peak application periods

The Solution

  • Azure-hosted online STAS portal
  • Parent-friendly submission interface
  • Integrated backend validation and eligibility checks
  • Admin dashboard for managing unresolved cases
  • Automated updates to STAS systems

The Results

  • Faster decisions and outcome delivery to families
  • Reduced manual workload for authority staff
  • Higher confidence in data accuracy and audit readiness
  • Increased access and equity for students
