Happy Financial Aid Day!
It’s time to cut the cake and raise a glass to the amazing financial aid professionals who help students make their educational dreams come true - YOU! It’s through your guidance and unwavering dedication, day in and day out, that truly makes an impact on students as they pursue their goals and aspirations.
Working in financial aid isn’t for the faint of heart. From the FAFSA fiasco and staffing challenges to the need to manage ever-changing regulations, your job demands a lot. For some of you, financial aid is a calling. For others, financial aid found you. But there are common threads that tie everyone who works in financial aid together: your commitment to the students, your unwavering dedication to excellence, and your determination to help every student gain access to the support they need to pursue an education that makes you succeed. And that’s something to celebrate.
NASFAA shared their ideas for how to celebrate Financial Aid Day. And whether you try out one of their suggestions, or create one of your own, we hope you will take the time today to pause, reflect, and salute the great work you do, every single day.
On this day that celebrates you, we want to say a big THANK YOU for:
- Always putting students first
- Patiently explaining the complexities of financial aid to students and their families
- Finding ways for students to afford their college dream
- All that you do
