CASFAA is planning to launch the inaugural CASFAA Emerging Leaders Summer Consortium (CELSC) in summer 2024. The purpose of this consortium is to provide a comprehensive training program for emerging financial aid leaders in California institutions of higher learning. The topics covered will range from federal issues, including administrative capability responsibilities, audits, FISAP reporting and program reviews; state issues unique to California schools, including the differences between higher education segments, California state aid programs, state budget and legislative realities, and navigating through the state and federal regulatory maze. Participants will learn how to build positive communication skills, manage conflict and lead through change.

Master your skills this summer with CASFAA by earning a nationally recognized credential! The program will end with the NASFAA module on Consumer Information (Which can lead to a NASFAA Credential) and a wrap up of the week’s learning. CASFAA will draw from its pool of highly skilled trainers and invited guest-speakers to provide perspective and depth of experience to this intensive and support learning experience. CASFAA believes that by providing this consortium experience to emerging leaders, participants will be better equipped to manage the complexities of a financial aid program, office, or department in a California institution.  Below is an example of the agenda.
