The holidays are upon us and NASFAA wants to see how your office is celebrating. Snap a few pictures of your office decorations, holiday parties, and campus events and upload them using this easy form.

This interactive webinar, on Wednesday January 18 at 2 p.m. ET, will focus on the two pending U.S. Supreme Court cases — SFFA v. Harvard and SFFA vs. UNC — which challenge the legitimacy of race-conscious admission policies and seek to overturn decades of federal court precedent. While most of the attention in those cases centers on issues of admission policy and practice, important issues in those cases may bear on the continuing role of race and ethnicity in the awarding of financial aid and scholarships. This webinar will distill the legal issues of consequence for aid and scholarship practitioners, offer insights regarding court decision-readiness strategies and steps to consider, and virtually engage with attendees to address their questions.
