SASFAA is pleased to offer our colleagues in the business sector the opportunity to support our training efforts as financial aid professionals.
While the 2021 SASFAA Conference will be online, we have attempted to create advertising options and targeted online events that will allow you to meet the needs and aims of your business interests.
Please feel free to review the list of sponsorship options for the 2020-2021 academic year to determine how to best partner with SASFAA. If interested, please complete an online sponsorship registration. We will follow up with an email message confirming your sponsorship choice(s) and then provide an invoice.
For those of you who are already sponsoring, or will be soon, thank you for supporting SASFAA's mission. Your sponsorship is invaluable. Without your support, we would not have such an array of educational opportunities to provide to our financial aid administrators. With travel and budgets impacted by COVID-19, our Association is depending upon you now more than ever.
Please contact us with any questions or concerns.
