[Oasfaa] OCAP Offers Additonal NASFAA CORE Training Sessions

[DeBoard, Scott]

OCAP will offer two NASFAA CORE training sessions in March. NASFAA CORE materials are designed for teaching financial aid fundamentals to financial aid professionals. The first session, Cost of Attendance, introduces the concept of cost of attendance, describes each cost component used to develop student budgets, and presents how financial aid administrators develop the cost of attendance for their institutions. The second session will cover Federal Methodology. It provides an overview of need analysis and an explanation of the Federal Methodology (FM) models, formulas, and Automatic Zero EFC alternative for determining the expected family contribution (EFC). Examples are used to demonstrate the computation of an expected family contribution under the Federal Methodology.

These sessions will be offered on March 6th at the OCAP office in Oklahoma City. The morning session, Cost of Attendance, will begin at 10:00 am and conclude at 12:00 pm. The afternoon session, Federal Methodology, will begin at 1:30 pm and conclude by 3:30 pm. Individuals who complete either of these training sessions will be eligible to take the corresponding NASFAA credentialing exams at no charge. This is a savings of $100 (per test) off the normal exam fee charged by NASFAA. There is no charge for this training and registration is limited to 24 participants per session. Participants can register for one or both sessions. Each session requires a separate registration. Registration is open for both sessions:
