Delays in the overhauled 2024-25 FAFSA and the delivery of applicant data have been top of mind for financial aid professionals, and on Tuesday, officials from Federal Student Aid (FSA) joined NASFAA’s 2024 Leadership & Legislative Conference & Expo to discuss key updates to federal student aid policies, including the FAFSA rollout.

The Department of Education (ED) on Tuesday continued its negotiated rulemaking session on program integrity and institutional quality, gathering stakeholders to discuss the topics of state authorization and distance education.

NASFAA is looking for a student to fill a 12-week paid internship with its Policy and Federal Relations staff. The intern will help develop advocacy materials; attend and report on hearings, events, and meetings; analyze and summarize legislation and regulations; and much more. If you know graduate or undergraduate students who may be interested, please encourage them to apply. This internship is supported by the Dallas Martin Endowment for Public Policy and Student Aid. Applications must be received by 5:00 p.m. ET on Friday, Feb. 9, 2024, for priority consideration.

The next New Director Group Coaching cohort, provided by NASFAA's Blue Icon Advisors, is starting next month. Designed for financial aid administrators with less than one year of experience at the director level, you'll work alongside a small group of other new financial aid directors as you discuss compliance-related matters, develop an operational calendar, learn about how to identify and support your staff's professional development needs, and more. The start date for the next six-week cohort is March 18, 2024. Register today to reserve your spot.

Join us for a special episode of Voices of NASFAA on February 16 at 12 p.m. ET to honor Black History Month, as we sit down for a discussion with Dr. Danette Burgess and Robert Muhammad of Howard University. Join us on LinkedIn to learn more about their background, as they share their voice with our community. As we delve into their experiences, we’ll also be celebrating the rich legacy of historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs) and learning about the role financial aid plays at Howard University.
