Wisconsin Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators (WASFAA) upcoming events

Ask a WASFAA Expert: Virtual Office Hours (November 12, 2026)

Thu, 12 Nov 2026 14:00:00 GMT

Join our informal virtual office hours to connect directly with experienced Financial Aid Administrators (FAAs) from across the state of Wisconsin.

Geared towards high school counselors and others supporting college access, these sessions are designed for open Q&A—bring your specific questions, talk through challenging scenarios, and get real-time guidance. They'll feature FAAs from a mix of post-secondary schools (public, private, and/or technical), ensuring a wide spectrum of knowledge and resources.

There’s no formal presentation—just one shared space focused on practical support, collaboration, and problem-solving for those supporting students in their post-secondary journeys!
