CASFAA Scholarships

Conference Newcomers' Scholarship

This scholarship is given to new financial aid administrators to provide them with the opportunity to increase their financial aid knowledge by attending their first CASFAA Conference.  At least one Scholarship is given per educational segment.  The number of scholarships awarded is determined each year by the Executive Council based upon the fiscal ability of the Association for that year.  

Access & Diversity Scholarship

The Access & Diversity Conference Scholarship Program is intended for underrepresented minority financial aid staff who would not usually receive
Conference funding from their institutions. The non-renewable scholarship provides for Conference registration fees, Conference hotel room rate (2
nights/double occupancy) and a transportation allowance according to CASFAA guidelines. Scholarship recipients will be considered based on some combination of the following criteria: 
  1. Underrepresented minority; 
  2. Financial aid staff not traditionally in attendance at the Conferences (e.g. clerical, technical, semi-professional); 
  3. Have not attended previous CASFAA Conferences; 
  4. New financial aid staff.
