About Us
D.O. Financial Aid Services is founded by Dolapo Ogunmakin. Dedicated and determined, Dolapo is a strategic powerhouse. Starting her career in hospitality, she learned and excelled at providing superior service. Later, she embarked on a career in higher education that captured her commitment to education with her desire to handle complex challenges in changing environments.
Her tenacity, forward-thinking and solutions-oriented approach led her on a fast-track of 11 progressively responsible positions, ultimately leading to the university’s Associate Director of Enrollment Management at Howard University, responsible for Enrollment Analytics. With the Enrollment Analytics in her portfolio, she led a team of professionals who handled the systems applications for the entire Enrollment Management Team (i.e. Admission, Registrar, Financial Aid, Accounting, Cashier, and Bursar).
Early on, other institutions recognized her talent and requested her services to assist with major projects such as Direct Loan transitions, new year set-up and algorithmic packaging. With the encouragement of her team, she lent her services to institutions struggling with increasing administratively burdensome regulations while shrinking financial aid staff prevented the level of touch and engagement expected from students.
Dolapo is currently a Director of Financial Aid. She has a Bachelor of Science in Business Management from Morgan State University. She also has a Master of Education degree in Curriculum and Instruction with a concentration in Educating for Change from Trinity Washington University.
