NASFAA has reorganized and updated the State Award Recipients' Web Center and encourages NASFAA members to nominate colleagues for state initiatives that have benefited: the profession; students, parents and families; other constituencies, and; the goal of increasing access and diversity.
The updated page makes it easier for visitors to browse the various awards categories and previous years' awards recipients.
Consistent with the theme of this year's NASFAA Chair, Dave Gruen, the Awards Committee asks that you "cowboy up" and bring in a herd of nominations for the 2009 NASFAA awards.
Do you know of someone deserving of national recognition for leadership or contributions to the financial aid profession?
NASFAA has a wide range of awards to recognize financial aid professionals for their hard work, leadership, or special projects. True to cowboy competition, the 2009 Awards Committee is challenging all states and regions to rustle up not only the best nominations, but also the most nominations. We promise a special buckle of honor for your efforts at our annual conference in July!
Your state and regional leaderships needs your help to round-up deserving nominations for this year's awards.
NASFAA has a wide range of awards to recognize financial aid professionals for their hard work, leadership or special projects. Please submit nominations for the following award categories:
State and Regional Leadership Award
This award is presented to individuals who need not be financial aid administrators, who have made outstanding contributions to the financial aid profession at the regional and state levels over a sustained period of time (seven years or more).
State Awards
This award category recognizes individual state associations for outstanding projects that contribute to the financial aid profession and other groups. The intent of this award is to encourage creative and innovative service to individuals or groups of individuals who are directly or indirectly involved in student financial aid.
Lifetime Membership Award
This is the highest award that NASFAA can bestow on a member or individual who is affiliated with a member organization. The contributions by this person must be truly outstanding and significant.
Meritorious Service Award
This award is presented to an individual who has made an important contribution to NASFAA or to the profession that NASFAA wishes to recognize. It is based on an important single contribution or significant multiple contributions.
