What's New? Thrifty Food Plan - Dietary Guidelines for Americans. The Standard Application Online SAO is a free service provided by The Enrollment Management Association to member schools, in which students submit their information, essays, transcripts, and recommendations just once, online, to apply to as many of the nearly member schools that accept it as they like. The SAO is used by small schools with correspondingly small budgets, that cannot afford to onboard a costly vendor-based online application solution and large, high-volume schools that value the efficiency afforded by online delivery.

In addition, regional groups of schools interested in making the application process less arduous for families have embraced the SAO. Even those schools that require unique applicant information take advantage of the SAO by utilizing its supplemental form functionality.

Most schools take about 20 minutes to set up their SAO. This may take a little longer if schools have multiple supplements or chooses to set up a variety of applications, perhaps by grade level, day or boarding programs, or for international students only.

Schools have the ability to create school-specific supplements. Schools also have the ability to create a unique supplement form on a grade-by-grade basis. The SAO system operates in real time—meaning both the member and student portals are updated the moment application components are submitted.

Students, as well, can instantly see that the form was submitted though they cannot view the form. While the system operates in real time, it does require that both family and school users access it via their secure portals to manage their applications. Schools are encouraged to view and access the system as often as necessary during busy admission times to track and manage incoming and existing applications. Families are the most important part of the SAO process. Each school indicates its domestic and international application fees when it sets up its SAO.

As the SAO is accessed and completed online by students, the application fee is collected at the time of application submission via the portal.

However, EMA waives this fee for any student receiving an application fee waiver from a school. The decision to issue an application fee waiver rests solely with the school. The SAO provides tools to the school to issue a single fee waiver to a student or to create a batch of application fee waivers for students and families.

Schools are allowed an unlimited number of application fee waivers, as they represent the waiving of their own fee. EMA distributes application fee checks to schools on a quarterly basis with an accompanying student roster for easy reconciliation. The SAO has a built-in advisor workstation made for placement counselors. The workstation allows counselors to track and manage applications on behalf of students and families.

The SAO platform collects and reports personal and sensitive data about families and students applying to schools. We take our responsibility to protect the confidential nature of this data seriously. In order to ensure data is properly protected, we regularly audit our legal compliance with respect to privacy and confidentiality, and we employ a number of active and passive measures to ensure our systems are protected against intrusion and other security breaches. The data relationship between EMA and member schools is protected by a member services agreement, which all members electronically sign.

Both agreements are in compliance with current industry best practice and are reviewed on a yearly basis. EMA collects and transmits personally identifiable parent and student information, including credit card numbers, using strong SSL encryption.
