AISAP is proud to partner with Alisa Evans, Founder and CEO of Mission Enrollment, on a seven-week online course that guides you the intricacies and hurdles of the financial aid season, equipping you with the knowledge and tools to master each phase with confidence.
No matter what financial aid platform your school uses, this training will empower you to prepare and execute your financial aid program with practical and tactical ways. Each lesson addresses a specific aspect of administering a successful financial aid program. You will learn how to implement effective communications to families, establish clear and consistent file review protocols, use essential checklists, and develop awarding strategies to align with your enrollment goals. In addition to our weekly one-hour live sessions, you will gain access to a wide range of sample materials, essential documents, instructional videos, and ongoing professional support.
You’ll learn to:
- Forecast your financial aid budget for the new season.
- Craft and deliver messages that ensure families feel supported every step of the way.
- Review folders with consistency guided by Mission Enrollment best practices protocols and techniques.
- Assess applications from business owners.
- Manage a formal appeal process.
- Create and present engaging year-end reports for your Head of School and Board.
Each class in this course builds on the previous one, creating a cohesive learning experience. You'll have ongoing access to these sessions, allowing you to revisit and reinforce your understanding at any time. We will periodically add materials to further support and enhance your journey through the financial aid process.
