Celebrated each year on the third Wednesday in October, Financial Aid Day (FAD) is a special day set aside to celebrate and recognize the contribution of all financial aid professionals across the United States for helping students make their college-going dreams a reality.

What is your office doing to celebrate the occasion? Send your stories and pictures to [email protected] or share them on social media.
