Deadline Approaching: Scholarship Available for Financial Aid Administrators


SASFAA is looking for SUCCESS stories from within! The January 27 deadline is quickly approaching!  Specifically, we are looking to find aid administrators who are currently pursuing higher education degrees.  Do you fall into this category or know someone who does?

In honor of NASFAA’s 50th Anniversary, NASFAA’s Past Presidents and National Chairs made individual donations to the Dallas Martin Endowment with the following criteria:
 
·         Six scholarships, one per region, will be given to a deserving student, based on need; ·         Preference will be given to someone currently working in the financial aid profession; ·         Each scholarship will be $2,750;
·         Each region will select its recipient in a manner appropriate to its membership; and
·         The six recipients will be highlighted on the NASFAA website, conference program and/or in NASFAA’s Annual Report.
 
If you are interested in applying for this scholarship, please send a short essay (no more than 2 pages) entitled, “This is My Story,” along with a photo to:
 
Keith Reeves
SASFAA Past President
Clemson University
sasfaa@gmail.com
 
Make sure that your essay includes the degree that you are pursuing and brief biographical information (institution, position, number of years in financial aid, etc.) in addition to your “This is My Story.”
 
The deadline for submitting this information is FRIDAY, JANUARY 27.  The winner of the scholarship for the SASFAA region will be announced at the annual conference in Biloxi.  The committee for selecting the scholarship recipient will be composed of past SASFAA presidents and executive board members.
 
Information provided by all applicants may be used for “success story” highlights during the upcoming conference, on the SASFAA Facebook page and via SASFAA Nine News releases.
