Scholar Fund helps families find relief faster with Plaid

The Scholar Fund, a non-profit organization providing education, workforce placement, and financial assistance to underserved communities, recently utilized Plaid's technology to distribute a $5 million fund supporting over 6,000 Washington families. This collaboration helped streamline the application process for the Washington Family Relief Fund by digitizing identity verification, improving manual review processes, and expanding verification coverage. With Plaid's help, Scholar Fund was able to verify 85% of applications in under a month, preventing fraud attempts and ensuring that aid reached those who needed it most.
