FA 101 Workshop 2019
MSFAA FA 101 is a set of three workshops with the goal of teaching financial aid fundamentals to individuals with less than two years of experience. FA 101s cover financial aid administration from A to Z. If you are new to financial aid, need a financial aid refresher, or are in higher education and need a general understanding of financial aid administration - this is the training for you!
The workshops are held once a week in Lansing – October 4, 11, and 18, 2019. Instructors are experienced financial aid administrators who will be able to answer questions and provide examples above and beyond the training materials.
There are two options to attend so don’t worry if you are not able to attend all three sessions. There is a full attendance and a daily rate.
