The FSA Training Conference will feature several sessions on the President’s Higher Education Initiatives.

Do you have questions that require a little more time than a quick visit to the Ask-a-Fed station? If so, you can schedule 30 minute one-on-one appointments, on the hour or half hour, with Ask-a-Fed representatives. Time slots are available Tuesday through Thursday from 8:30a.m. to 5:30p.m. and Friday from 8:30a.m. to 2:30p.m. Send an e-mail to AskAFed@ed.gov with two preferred date & time options and we will schedule your appointment and e-mail you a time confirmation. Appointments are available on a first-come, first served basis. If you are unable to set up a formal appointment, don't worry, there are plenty of FSA staff available to assist you throughout the day at our Ask-a-Fed station in the Resource Center.
