(PYPL) announced Monday new integrations with three leading education payment platforms — Illumia, Nelnet Campus Commerce, and TouchNet — enabling students and families to pay tuition and fees directly through PayPal or Venmo. The integrations are live at multiple institutions, including Bellarmine University, Butler University, Kansas State University, Michigan State University, and Texas Tech University. Additional colleges and universities are expected to adopt the payment options throughout the year. Many students and families already use PayPal and Venmo for daily financial management, including grocery purchases, rent splitting, reward earning, and money transfers to friends and family. The new tuition payment capability extends this familiarity to one of the most significant expenses for students and their families.
