Financial Aid Campus Partner Training
We know that students come to you with a wide range of questions, including questions about their financial aid. We do not expect you to be a financial aid expert by any means, but we’ve created curated training videos to help prepare you to answer basic financial aid questions, as needed.
Thank you for your interest in learning more about financial aid to help support students navigate the financial aid process at the University of Arizona.
