Follow us on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter, like or share/retweet our contest post from today, and in your comments tag two financial aid administrators who have inspired you. You'll get one entry for each platform on which you like our contest post. The contest opens today and runs through October 23, when we'll randomly select one winner from each social media platform. We'll announce our three winners in Today's News on October 24. Find more details here. Good luck!

NASFAA's Standards of Excellence (SOE) Review Program offers confidential, objective peer reviews to assess your institution's delivery of student financial aid. The mission of Blue Icon Advisors is much broader — to provide high-quality consulting services. For example, SOE might identify a gap in your P&P manual, but Blue Icon Advisors can help you fix the problem and even write the missing pieces.

Join us Wednesday, Oct. 23, 2019, at 2:00 p.m. ET when NASFAA's Lissa Powell takes a look at what can be changed, when we can make changes and why we can make changes to FAFSA data. Register now.
