Welcome back! We are excited to announce that the SASFAA 2023 Conference will be held in person, February 12-15, 2023, at the Chattanooga Marriott and Convention Center in Chattanooga, Tennessee. SASFAA is pleased to offer our colleagues in the business sector the opportunity to support our training efforts as financial aid professionals.

Please feel free to review the list of 2022-2023 Sponsorship Options to determine how to best partner with SASFAA this year. 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 have sponsored in the past or plan to sponsor this year, thank you for supporting SASFAA's mission. Your sponsorship is invaluable. Without your support, we would not have such an array of professional development 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.
