Financial Aid Competencies

NASFAA's financial aid competency framework outlines key competencies that define the role of a skilled and well-rounded financial aid administrator. These competencies are cultivated over time and are enhanced through hands-on experience. While not every financial aid administrator will encounter every aspect of each competency, the model reflects the growth opportunities available as professionals advance in their careers.
