Our panel features financial aid professionals from a variety of institutions, including a 4-year public university, a 4-year private institution, a community college, and a professional school, ensuring there is something valuable for everyone.

Panelists will discuss how their offices are approaching recent changes, highlight practical tips and tricks they’ve developed, and offer real-world perspectives to help you feel more confident heading into the new year.

Bring your questions, curiosity, and ideas; this is a collaborative space where we can learn from one another and tackle these challenges together.
