We Bring You the Latest Updates in the Financial Aid Industry

The RIHEAA Student Loan Workshop will give you and your colleagues the most recent information about the issues affecting your role in assisting students.

Topics of Discussion

• Federal Update. This session provides you with a status report on the reauthorization changes resulting from the Higher Education Reconciliation Act of 2005 and previews updates to the 2006-2007 Free Application for Federal Student Aid and the federal student-aid-delivery system.
• New Federal Programs. Learn about the eligibility requirements and administrative responsibilities of the two new federal grant programs established through the HERA, as well as the legislation’s extension of PLUS-loan eligibility to graduate and professional students.
• Calculating the EFC. Test your understanding of the changes in the HERA and how they affect the EFC calculation for 2006-2007. You’ll have the opportunity to engage in team-based discussions of a case study.
• Doing More with Less. Financial-aid administrators often are asked to accomplish more with less: less funding, less time and less manpower. In this session, you will be able to share with your colleagues your personal tips and tricks for doing more with less.
• Identity Theft. A concern to all consumers, the threat of identity theft requires that students and employees of postsecondary institutions be aware of how to protect their own and their customers’ confidential information. This session summarizes the types of identity theft, how identities can be stolen, precautions to prevent identity theft, as well as steps to take if identity theft occurs.
