We are pleased to announce the release of the 2024–25 update for FSA Training for Foreign Schools, a web-based tutorial on federal student aid program administration in a foreign school setting.
The 2024–25 FSA Training for Foreign Schools is new and improved! We have revised the tracks to align with the changes made as part of FAFSA® Simplification Act efforts. In addition, we built the training using a new format that is more engaging, interactive, and modern. We think you’ll like it, and we would love to hear your feedback in the course evaluations.
FSA Training for Foreign Schools is a comprehensive and self-paced online course that includes 6 modules covering the fundamentals of federal student aid program administration, all with a focus on foreign school participation in the William D. Ford Federal Direct Loan (Direct Loan) Program.
The lessons in the FSA Training for Foreign Schools course can be completed individually or you may complete all lessons in the entire course, allowing you to tailor the training to your specific needs. In addition, the material features hyperlinks to other Federal Student Aid information and products, review scenarios, instructional videos, and learning assessments that will help you master the training concepts.
