We are having several requests for us to come for either an individually planned night or for parent/teacher conference night in order to help students/parents to fill out the FAFSA. The request is that we will come and work with each individual student/parent one on one to complete each of their applications, resulting in a 3-4 hr time span in the evening. Any information would be greatly appreciated, as we are a small office and don't always have the time or the staff to send someone to help with each individual student. Thanks, *Traci L.

I will offer several FAFSA events on campus in our computer labs. Sometimes I will run these during the day if I can have a team member step away that long, possibly a student worker will help facilitate or I will even handle it myself. For instance we have an all-day FAFSA session tomorrow and Thursday here on campus. This is open to both on and off campus students and anyone from the community. We make sure to post it on social media and share with all of our local school counselors. In regards to the FAFSA events at schools. We try to collaborate with admissions so that we are in attendance with them if possible. We will sometimes offer a presentation and then FAFSA assistance for a couple of hours. We will go out and just do a FAFSA event only, where we just offer up our time for a couple of hours to help. We don’t do one-on-ones because that is too time consuming. We will have them all in one room and we will walk around and answer questions as need be. We typically start with FSAID or request that students/parents complete those before attending the event. We share this with the school counselors to at least get that part of the process out of the way before we arrive. We tell students a lot of times they can just come in and use the computers in our lobby area and we will answer questions if they need us. I’ve found offering a FAFSA event/workshop between 3 and 5 sometimes helps too. This way it’s still during business hours, school is out and they can come to campus. I do offer one-on-one FAFSA assistance in my office by appointment. I’m also a big believer of sharing my cell phone information on my business card. I answer questions regarding FAFSA/financial aid via text, email and phone call also. Thanks, Justin W.

(HSC) Subject: [EXTERNAL] Event Announcement: 2019 Boot Camp for New Aid Officers, November 11, 2019 [Image removed by sender.] Dear Mendy Schmerer, You are invited to the following event: 2019 Boot Camp for New Aid Officers When: November 11, 2019 12:30 PM, CST Where: Omni Royal Orleans, New Orleans, Louisiana Will you be attending? Register Not attending EVENT DETAILS: For those who do not know me, I’m Shannon Guillory and I currently work for the Louisiana Community and Technical College System and assist financial aid offices around the state with Banner. This year I am fortunate to be one of SWASFAA’s Boot Camp trainers. After working in financial aid for over 24 years now, I think the most difficult thing to manage is employee training. Whether it’s bringing your newest employee up to speed or making sure your veterans are complying with the ever-changing regulations, it is always difficult not only to find the time to do the training, but also to find the right person to conduct the training. I know you’ve heard from a few of our committee members on how beneficial it is for new employees, but I’d like to share why it’s also important to send your veterans. When I first started in financial aid, I never understood why one of the FA Directors in the state would always attend LASFAA’s Boot Camp, every year! Once I got to know Mr. Raymond Boswell from Louisiana State University in Alexandria, I had the courage to ask him why, with all his years of experience, he always attended Boot Camp. He told me that in addition to it being a great refresher, he ALWAYS, ALWAYS learned something new. He was a great mentor and taught several of us that you never stop learning in financial aid. SWASFAA Boot Camp is November 11-13 in New Orleans, LA and we’d love to see you there! The registration fee is $275 which may seem high until you realize that it includes trainings for 10 NASFAA Credential topics which normally cost around $99 per test. We know you may not be interested in taking 10, but even if you just take 3 it is a cost-savings!! The hotel and early bird registration dates has been extended through October 18, so register today! I see so many folks who attended the Boot Camps I’ve assisted with in the past who are now Directors and Assistant Directors and even serving in leadership positions in their state and regional associations. I hope you take advantage of this wonderful training opportunity which will also provide you with colleagues, and maybe even a few new friends, for life. Please let me know if you have any questions.
