The NASFAA headquarters are closed today along with federal agencies due to a snow storm impacting the Washington, D.C. area. NASFAA staff who can telework are working to the extent they are able, but phone and email responses may be delayed. 

The Glossary of Terms for Award Notifications was created in 2012 by NASFAA's Award Notification Task Force, and was subsequently adopted into NASFAA's Code of Conduct. It contains suggested terms and definitions typically contained on award notifications given to current and prospective students by colleges and universities. Given the amount of time that has passed and the ever-changing nature of financial aid programs and terminology, the NASFAA Ethics Commission has proposed updates to the glossary. The Commission welcomes your comments and any suggested changes by Friday, March 8, 2019.
