The NASFAA 2024 National Conference in Milwaukee is less than three weeks away, which means it is time to start reviewing this year's jam-packed agenda. Today’s News caught up with Gena Boling, FAAC®, chair of the 2024 National Conference Program Task Force, to discuss what in-person sessions attendees can expect and previewed some offerings available at July’s Virtual Conference.

At this year's NASFAA Virtual Conference, attendees will have the opportunity to train for NASFAA's Need Analysis Professional Credential. In this credential training, the NASFAA U team will discuss need analysis with the implementation of the Student Aid Index (SAI) and the calculation of an applicant's SAI. This session will also include a lesson on institutional methodology. Completion of this live, online training qualifies participants to take the corresponding NASFAA Professional Credential test at no additional cost.

Take a moment and join us on May 31, 2024 at 12 p.m. ET to sit down with Justin Draeger, president and CEO at NASFAA, as he shares his voice with us. Starting his career in 2002, Justin has played pivotal roles in administering, interpreting, communicating, and shaping student financial aid policy. His diverse experience includes positions as a director of financial aid, regulatory and policy analyst, and spokesperson, along with senior roles in government relations, communications, and policy development. While many of us may have listened to Justin on “Off the Cuff,” in conference sessions, or in other venues, this is an opportunity for us to hear from Justin about how his experience influenced his career trajectory. Be a part of the conversation on LinkedIn.

Join NASFAA on Wednesday, June 5 at 2 p.m. ET, to review of some of the most frequently asked AskRegs questions related to FAFSA simplification. Depending on the most popular questions leading into the webinar, topics will likely range from constructing the cost of attendance to packaging, as well as include verification and professional judgment consideration of special circumstances and dependency overrides.
