A new NASFAA task force report outlined several recommendations for the association to take to “fill the gap” when it comes to resources in using artificial intelligence (AI) in the financial aid office, along with future considerations and research for NASFAA to take as it relates to AI use in the profession.

Each year, NASFAA presents awards to deserving members of the financial aid profession and higher education community during the National Conference. Let's take a moment to congratulate the winner of the Gold Star Award, which recognizes innovative ideas in the financial aid arena at any level, targeted toward any constituency. Congratulations to Wow Wednesday Podcast (San Jacinto College). Take a look back at past recipients of the Gold Star Award, and see all of the 2026 award recipients.

Please join us in congratulating  Daniel Barkowitz, FAAC^®, on his new job. Also join us in congratulating Cheryl Storie on her retirement. Celebrate your own career developments by completing the "Movers and Shakers" form to share the news with your colleagues.
