Texas community colleges face increasing enrollment numbers, making it challenging to detect fraudulent enrollments. With 50 institutions statewide, the risk of ghost students is significant. BMTX Identity Verification™ addresses this issue, ensuring accurate student data during the enrollment process and protecting state funding.
A 2021 investigation by the Texas State Auditor's Office found that 11 out of the 50 community colleges experienced an estimated loss of $2.2 million in state funding due to fraudulent enrollments.
In 2020, a survey of community college administrations in Texas conducted by the Texas Association of Community Colleges (TACC) revealed that 18% had encountered instances of ghost students within the past two academic years.
Data from the 2019-2020 academic year analyzed by the Texas Higher Education Data system indicated that approximately 4% of financial aid applications submitted to community colleges were linked to students who did not attend classes, raising concerns about potential enrollment fraud.
Per the state Chancellor’s office, as of 2023, about 20% of California’s community college applications are scams: that’s more than 460,000 of the 2.3 million requests to the state’s online application system.
