10:15a-11:15a Concurrent Sessions 3 The FISAP and Campus-Based Aid Programs: Embracing the Process Island View Presenter: Heidi Goldsworthy | Stetson University Moderator: Bryan Skorczewski | University of South Florida
The FISAP is one of the most dreaded federal reports that a financial aid office has to complete each year. However, it is also how we receive funding for the Federal campus-based aid programs, Federal SEOG, and the Federal Work-study program. In addition, schools that continue to service their Perkins portfolios must report on how collection and defaults are handled each year. For some schools, offering campus-based aid has not been an option because the FISAP has never been filed but a review of their Program Participation Agreement shows they are approved to offer this aid. Come to this session to learn about the form, understand the process, and not sweat the reporting.

Virtual Etiquette Bayside View Presenter: Bill Ayers | College Ave Student Loans Moderator: Angelica Parrales | Valencia College
Lunch & Learn The pandemic has changed how we socially interact, but one thing remains the same. “You never get a second Session #2 chance to make a first impression.” Think of all the people you have met in your professional life and consider that many of their recollections are still based on that first meeting.

Navigating policies and procedures associated with higher education financial aid is stressful for both students and staff in the best of times.

Some incoming freshmen have taken all the necessary steps to start college but simply disappear over the summer.

Managing and Protecting Your Credit Oceanview Presenter: Bill Ayers | College Ave Student Loans Moderator: Alicia Keaton | University of Central Florida
With the U.S. entering the second year of the coronavirus pandemic, consumer spending has undergone significant shifts.

In this session, we will compare the latest data on both student debt and general consumer credit behavior before, and during the crisis. On national and state levels, we will address the following questions and topics: • What is the overall impact of the crisis on credit scores, consumer behavior, and the amount of debt? • Tips to protect and improve your credit score • How to guard against consumer credit fraud and scams • How the CARES Act assistance impacts student credit • Managing credit through financial hardship and COVID-19.
