Your mission is keeping students enrolled. So is ours.
With Meadow, students understand costs, pay on time, and get back on track if they fall behind.
Engage students across the full financial lifecycle
From the first cost estimate to the final balance
Make every transaction less transactional
Send clear bills, paid in one click
Straight from your school-branded link (pay.school.edu) in any email or text. Every charge and credit is listed by term and updates automatically with each payment or ACH return.
Offer more ways to pay over time
Flexible, self-service and fully customizable plan options with autopay. You set the guardrails.
Ensure financial aid refunds reach the right students
Students get paid to the method they choose, not a paper check. Every identity is verified before money goes out, and changed bank details or shared accounts are held for review.
Give every department its own storefront
Publish branded storefronts or send direct payment links, with custom form fields and flexible pricing on every item.
Take payments at the counter
Set up a countertop or handheld payment terminal and take card, tap-to-pay, cash or check. Every session reconciles when you close it.
Accept payments, domestic or international
Take card or bank payments in local currency and local methods, with the rate shown up front.
Reach students who stopped responding
Personalized text message and email communications to their school and personal addresses, all sent from your office and tracked end to end.
Gain full A/R visibility
Track every student, balance, payment plan, and communication in one live dashboard. Add dynamic filters, create lists and receive alerts when students fall behind.
Answer students and families 24/7
Meadow's Student Billing Agent answers account-specific questions over SMS at any time, in any language, and within your school policies. Every conversation logged and routed to the right office.
Know who's at risk before it's too late
Meadow monitors every account, detects hundreds of signals, and flags students at risk so you can take proactive action before they end up in collections.
Save students and A/R from collections
Every message and bill comes from your office, under your name, not a separate third party. More balances get resolved, faster, and more students re-enroll.
Show families what they’ll actually pay
Clear, accurate, and compliant estimates in under five minutes, English or Spanish. Fully branded and built on your cost of attendance, your institutional aid, and your state grants.
Get started before your next billing cycle
Meadow integrates with every major SIS, so there’s no heavy lifting.

Established safeguards protect your institution’s data — and the students behind it.

Innovation as a Strategy: How Tulsa Community College Modernized Pre-Collections to Decrease A/R
I expected maybe $50,000 a year from you guys, but in the first two months, we probably received close to $300,000

We started Meadow because our own college financial experiences made us feel like account numbers instead of people. So we built what we wish our schools had.
Don’t just move money. Move your institution forward.
