Important Message 

NJASFAA believes it is important to affirm both our mission and diversity statements. Our overarching mission of assisting students and families to obtain access to higher education goes hand-in-hand with our commitment to embrace and celebrate diversity and inclusion. We do so with a firm dedication that actively uplifts members, students and families from all backgrounds while equally condemning racism, bias activity, inequality and any actions that might stand to test our position as a service organization. We look forward to further strengthening and expanding our partnership with you - our valued membership, colleagues and friends.

 A Note from Your President, Kathy Prieto:

Welcome to NJASFAA,

I am honored to be part of such a dedicated community of financial aid administrators who work tirelessly on behalf of our students and their families. We truly are a remarkable group of professionals, united in our mission to support access to higher education.

At NJASFAA, our goal is to provide ongoing training and resources that not only help you manage your daily responsibilities but also foster your professional growth. We invite you to take part in our wide range of training opportunities, including Credential Training, Thirsty Thursdays, the Spring Forum, and our 3-Day Annual Conference.

Equally important, we encourage you to volunteer with our committees. The strength of this organization has always come from the commitment of our members, and without the time and energy of our volunteers, NJASFAA would not be possible.

I would also like to extend a special thank you to our vendors and sponsors. Your partnership and support allow us to provide valuable programming and events for our members, and we are grateful for the role you play in advancing our mission.

Finally, heartfelt thanks to our Executive Council Committee for serving our members, and to our past presidents and retirees for paving the way. Together—with the continued support of our volunteers, sponsors, and partners—I look forward to another successful year for NJASFAA.

With gratitude,

 Kathy Prieto
 NJASFAA President
