NASFAA Reminds Institutions to Complete HEERF Annual Report

NASFAA reminds institutions that the Department of Education (ED) opened its Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund (HEERF) Annual Report Data Collection System system on Jan. 5, 2021. Institutions should have received login credentials from ED in early January. While reports are due on February 1, we encourage institutions to complete annual reports as soon as possible since it is unclear how compliance with the reporting requirement may affect institutions’ ability to receive new HEERF funds under the 2021 Consolidated Appropriations Act.

For the only time in 2021, NASFAA U is offering the Federal Pell Grant & IASG online course.

You'll learn how to select the appropriate formula for term-based and non-term-based programs, how to calculate remaining eligibility, the ground rules for required and optional Pell Grant recalculations due to changes in enrollment status, EFC, or cost of attendance, and how to determine eligibility for "year-round" Pell Grant. This course is the perfect learning tool for all levels of financial aid professionals, designed to provide the necessary tools and subject matter expertise to the Pell Grant and IASG programs. Live instruction, discussion topic collaboration, and assessments throughout the course will reinforce your learning. Upon passing the course, you will receive complimentary access to the credential test. Register now.

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.
