| Abstract: | For 25 years, the National Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators (NASFAA) has surveyed financial aid professionals to understand the environment in which they administer student aid. These surveys identify resource shortages that may hinder the delivery of financial aid services, explore the causes of these shortages, and assess the potential impacts on both students and office operations. In fall 2024, NASFAA conducted their most recent survey, designed to evaluate the current capabilities of financial aid offices at NASFAA member institutions. This report provides findings from the survey and recommendations for ways to alleviate the administrative burden on financial aid offices so they can focus on supporting the needs of their students. The findings underscore the growing pressures these offices face--whether from shifting federal regulations, complex implementation of new policies, or long-standing resource shortages. Despite these hurdles, financial aid professionals remain steadfast in their commitment to ensuring equitable access to higher education. |
