Did you know that having a sense of meaning or purpose in your work can help prevent burnout? Focusing on your “why” can help keep you motivated, especially during particularly stressful times. This Mental Health Awareness Month, we’re highlighting what NASFAA’s Most Valuable Professionals (MVPs) find the most fulfilling and rewarding about working in financial aid. From collaborating with colleagues, to making students’ dreams come true, there are plenty of reasons to stay motivated and inspired in the financial aid profession.

Federal Student Aid (FSA) on Monday released two guides of frequently asked questions regarding final regulations for financial responsibility and certification procedures, which will go into effect on July 1, 2024. The FAQs were created in response to a number of policy questions from the higher education community. FSA also noted that it will add future FAQs to their policy guidance website if they receive additional questions that are of interest to the full higher education community. 

NASFAA is seeking a highly motivated, self-starter to join its team as a Regulatory Specialist. This position is responsible for answering regulatory questions from members via the AskRegs Knowledgebase, performing regulatory and editorial review and publication of AskRegs articles, reviewing guidance from the Department of Education, updating training materials, and developing, presenting, and reviewing webinar materials. Learn more about this remote position and apply by May 29, 2024 for full consideration.
