About LearnStudentAid

LearnStudentAid.org is the first learning community on the Web created by financial aid administrators for financial aid administrators. It was developed and is supported by NASFAA – the National Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators – and has been available to NASFAA Members for enrollment since September 1, 2004. Since August 1, 2005, LearnStudentAid.org training has been available to non-NASFAA Members, including other associations and organizations with an interest in the professional training of individuals who assist students with financing their education.

LearnStudentAid.org courses are available only on the Web, but reflect the knowledge and experience NASFAA brings with over 30 years of experience training student financial aid administrators. This online training also relies on the best practices of online learning, which have been developed and shared by higher education institutions, associations, agencies, and corporations.

The success of student financial aid depends on the skills of the people who administer it. Yet new aid administrators are hired every day and thrust into jobs managing thousands – sometimes millions – of federal, state, institutional, and private dollars. Financial aid administrators are expected to keep pace with ever-changing regulations, laws, private donor restrictions, and technology. All too often, aid administrators simply go without proper training and are left to decipher the complexities of the job on their own. LearnStudentAid.org is designed to give new staff members training as soon as they are hired.
