The Office of Scholarships and Financial Aid, in partnership with Wayfinders, is offering a workshop to help students make the most of both their time in school and their financial aid. This two-part session starts with a review of your Academic Advisement Report, which outlines your program requirements and can be used to create a semester-by-semester plan. Next, you will learn how to maintain the financial aid you are receiving year over year.
Attending this workshop will help you better understand how to maintain your financial aid eligibility, maximize your awarded funds, and continue to make progress towards graduation.
Have you been informed that you are not currently meeting Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) standards? Interested in what your options are in terms or regaining your eligibility for financial aid?
OSFA would like to invite you to an informative virtual session to better understand what meeting SAP means for you and your financial aid. You will leave with helpful tips on not only how to complete your appeal, but to get back on track so you can maintain your financial aid eligibility in the future.
Have you been selected for financial aid verification? If so, join the Office of Scholarships and Financial Aid (OSFA) for an AzAidSmart workshop that will help guide you through the verification process.
During our workshop you will learn what documents you will need to provide so you can complete the federal verification process. We will have OSFA team members available to answer your questions.
