Dallas Martin Fund for Education in Public Policy and Student Aid
Who will speak for the students?
Student aid removes financial barriers to education. Without effective advocacy, can we promise the children of today an education tomorrow? To turn the tide of educational inequality, we must plan for the future.
The Dallas Martin Fund for Education in Public Policy and Student Aid will help NASFAA cultivate a generation of future advocates who understand the complexities of higher education funding and can fight for students on Capitol Hill and beyond. The fund will support internships to upper-division undergraduate and graduate students interested in public policy and research focused on student financial aid. Funds will also help to establish an Information Resource Center and Library on Public Policy and Student Aid, the first of its kind in the country.

Dr. A. Dallas Martin, Jr. dedicated his career to helping students achieve their higher education goals. His was the constant voice of reason when legislation and regulations endangered equity in student aid. Over the course of his 32 years with NASFAA, he united the higher education community around NASFAA’s goals to increase access to higher education. The fund honors Dallas’ accomplishments and furthers NASFAA’s mission by supporting research and best practices in public policy and student aid.
“Opening doors of educational opportunity for all qualified individuals is the most honorable goal that anyone could represent,” Dr. Martin often said. Through the Dallas Martin Fund for Education, we will grow the next generation of leaders in the student aid arena.
