Voices of Experience
As a community service, the New Hampshire Association of Student Financial
Aid Administrators (NHASFAA) sponsors a Speakers Bureau comprised of
financial aid administrators from varied New Hampshire Colleges and
Universities who volunteer their time to provide New Hampshire families
with a valuable service.
Our member professionals have years of experience guiding and assisting
families with the financial aid process, completing the FAFSA (Free
Application for Federal Student Aid) and other related forms, and discussing options on financing
higher education.
Typically these presentations are requested by and held at New Hampshire
high schools from November through January. If you want to learn more
about this valuable service, you can contact Anna
Clifford, Assistant Director, Southern New Hampshire University,
at 2500 North River Road, Manchester, NH 03106, or 603-645-9645, Fax:
603-645-9639.

New Hampshire’s FAFSA
Completion Program |
 |
Let us help you! Attend one of our Financial Aid Night presentations
or file the FAFSA form with one of our experts. All college bound students
and their parents/guardians are invited to receive free assistance.
While financial aid can make college more affordable, parents and students
are expected to take primary responsibility for paying for post-secondary
education.
As we all know, the financial aid process can be daunting. It’s
our hope that by offering NH families Financial Aid Nights and free
one-on-one counseling to accurately fill out the FAFSA, we can help
thousands begin this process easily and effectively.
Attend a Financial Aid Event
Applying for financial aid is a process that all families must conquer
when preparing to send children on to a college or university. In order
to help families, nearly all high schools in New Hampshire host financial
aid nights each year from October through February. There, presenters
provide an overview of the aid process and information on State and
Federal student aid that is available to residents of New Hampshire.
Financial aid experts from the Center
for College Planning and NHASFAA are guest speakers for nearly one
hundred of these school events throughout the year. The NHASFAA Speaker’s
Bureau and the Center for College Planning partner to ensure that families
throughout the State have access to this information. By attending a
Financial Aid night, families will receive a portfolio of information
and materials to take home as well as a contact who can serve as a resource
when filing paperwork. Families should contact their high school to
find out when an event will be held or click
