In 2021, demonstrating the company’s growth, transformation and performance, Ellucian was purchased by Blackstone and Vista Equity Partners. These new owners are excited about Ellucian’s influence in the higher education technology market, and are investing in the evolution of the company as part of their long-term growth portfolios.
