Financial Aid Fair – Thank You For Your Assistance
During the SASFAA conference a Financial Aid Fair was held for students in the Birmingham area. There was one student from Meridian who came to the workshop. When asked on the evaluation form to rank the workshop from 1-10, one participant ranked it an ‘11’. There were a total of 150 to participate in the workshop. This was the first such project that SASFAA has sponsored, and hopefully this will not be the last.

There are many people to thank who helped with this project. It is always dangerous to list individuals for fear of leaving someone out. If you participated and your name is left off, please know that this is unintentional.

Those who help make this possible include:
