Financial Aid Warriors! On behalf of this year’s conference committee, I am honored to welcome you to the Spring NCASFAA Conference and call upon you to join your fellow Financial Aid Warriors. As Financial Aid Warriors, you stand on the front lines each day, advocating for access, equity, and the transformative power of education. The work you do demands courage to navigate complex challenges, discipline to master ever-changing regulations, and a heart to serve students and families with integrity and compassion. The strength of a warrior is amplified by their allies. Throughout this conference, you will have the opportunity to sharpen your skills, strengthen your alliances, and renew your sense of mission. Together, we will share strategies, learn from one another, and celebrate victories that come from helping students overcome barriers and claim their future. The fight for opportunity is stronger when we stand side by side. We are looking forward to seeing you at the Spring NCASFAA Conference! |

CHARITY: PAWS OF WAR
Our mission is to alleviate the suffering of veterans, first responders and their families, particularly those battling invisible wounds like Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), by providing them with loyal service dogs that become not just companions but also catalysts for healing. Simultaneously, we rescue and rehabilitate dogs and cats in dire straits, often plucking them from the brink of despair and giving them a new chance at life. Our reach extends into war-torn regions, reuniting military personnel with the animals they formed bonds with during service.
