Financial Aid Offer Examples
In late 2020, the NASFAA Board of Directors voted to update the NASFAA Code of Conduct regarding aid offer requirements. Since then, NASFAA has continued to refine its aid offer models to promote transparency and consistency in how financial aid information is communicated to students and families. These updated models continue to meet all current NASFAA Code of Conduct requirements while also reflecting recent policy developments, including changes enacted through the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (effective July 1, 2026) and NASFAA's endorsement of the Improving Financial Aid Offers for Students Act. The aid offer examples have been updated to provide institutions with practical models for clearly communicating financial aid eligibility and costs using current terminology, disclosures, and best practices.
