Financial aid professionals can stay current with how to handle federal financial aid data with updated training modules now available.
Federal Student Aid recently announced that they have updated the “Aid Application Process” training track with the latest information and guidance that was published in the September 30 Dear Colleague Letter (DCL) GEN-25-08. This DCL included the latest information and updated guidance on the permitted access, disclosure, and use of Federal Tax Information (FTI), FAFSA data, and non-FAFSA data.
