The Financial Aid Business Solutions Seminars provide an additional opportunity for
businesses to educate NASFAA Conference attendees on various emerging hardware and software technologies, services, alternative financing issues, and more.
These seminars give your business additional exposure to NASFAA Members and provide an additional way for you to support the Conference.

By presenting a seminar, you will not only have the opportunity to educate Conference attendees on your products/services, but you will also gain added exposure through special recognition in the pre-Conference and Conference programs and on the NASFAA Web Site.

offer your organization the option to do a seminar with different content.)

Note
As a suggestion, conferees have overwhelmingly indicated that they enjoy FABS seminars that do not focus on the product and services of the company, but on management or other areas of interest in the financial aid office.

Seminar application must be submitted by March 2, 2007. After March 2nd, NASFAA cannot guarantee that space will be available for a seminar. No refunds will be made if the due date is not met. Space is limited, so submit your application early.
