VASFAA Committee Plans for 0708

VASFAA Spring Training to be Conducted via Webex

The VASFAA Support Staff Training Committee is excited to announce that our spring training will be held online via Webex.

While the fall training workshops that were held throughout Virginia were very successful, we have decided to use online training for the spring. With many Financial Aid offices facing budget cutbacks, travel restrictions and difficulties in getting away from the office for a full day of training, the VASFAA Support Staff Training Committee and the VASFAA Board of Directors have decided to try an approach that is new to VASFAA.

The spring Support Staff Training will consist of four training sessions lasting one hour each. The training will occur in two-hour segments on two different days in May and in June. The topics that will be covered are:

  • FAFSA 101
  • FAFSA Problem Solving
  • All About Loans
  • What You Need to Know About Veterans Benefits

The Support Staff Training Committee is in the process of finalizing the dates of the training sessions. Please watch the VASFAA listserv for more details.

If you have any questions about the upcoming VASFAA Support Staff Training, please contact Liza Bruce at lbruce@ecmc.org or 804-267-7126.
