Description
Come hear about Federal Student Aid’s initiative regarding student financial empowerment (SFE). SFE is a broad concept impacting many levels of a student’s educational journey, including elementary, secondary, and postsecondary. SFE is about empowering students with the tools and information, especially at the secondary level, which they can use to make informed decisions about their educational and career pursuits. This session will explore FSA’s vision of SFE focusing on three competencies to help students achieve their goals as it relates to choosing and financing their postsecondary education: Prepare, Succeed and Repay. Existing FSA tools that currently support these competencies will be discussed. Some examples of successful SFE activities by organizations in the educational community will be highlighted. The presentation will feature a method by which you can share your SFE ideas with FSA for possible implementation or potential future partnerships.
