Some other notes...
The Spring 2000 issue of NASFAA's Student Aid Transcript was devoted to Graduate & Professional School concerns. There are many articles that may be of interest to you as well as others from any segment.

NASFAA offered a few sessions for the Graduate & Professional sector this year. The Pre-Conference Symposium - Financial Fitness for Aid Administrators: What You Don't Know Could Hurt Your Students provided a crash course in economics and information in areas such as employee benefits and investments to assist with long-term planning. Representatives from the Georgetown University Law Center and Ohio University College of Osteopathic Medicine shared their resources and models used to educate their students on financial issues after graduation. Another session contributed to the cause and provided a list of questions and suggested outline for schools to use in developing its own institutional aid strategies for its graduate and professional students.

As I draw this report to a close, I am asking for your contribution. What other issues/concerns do you have as graduate/professional aid administrators? How best to you think that WASFAA can help this sector? Your input is important and will not be ignored!!! Please contact me! Have a great fall.
