Did you know the Information for Financial Aid Professionals (IFAP) website only has DCL archives that date back to 1994? What if the guidance you need is older than that? For example, under the term "Professional Judgment," the "Cost of Attendance" subtopic has guidance on dependent living expenses which dates back to 1989. NASFAA's Student Aid Index gives you the edge by providing access to historical data. In addition, the Index is mobile-friendly, so you can access data anywhere, anytime. How else can this tool make your job easier? Please use our Index feedback form to let us know.
