We were pleased to welcome nearly 300 financial aid
professionals at the 13th annual PowerFAIDS User Conference
in Orlando, FL. Institutions from the College Board's six
regions came together at the Walt Disney World Swan Hotel
and Resort to attend one of the aid industry’s most talked
about events.
Conference Overview
The conference featured a broad range of topics in three
tracks specializing in PowerFAIDS Basics, Advance features
and Professional Development. Most session were led by
experienced PowerFAIDS users, who shared their successes
using PowerFAIDS to manage student aid.
In addition to the 36 software sessions focusing on
PowerFAIDS and Net Partner, participants learned about The
College Board CollegeKeys™ Compact from Kathleen Little,
Senior Advisor, Student Aid Policy at the College Board, and
received a Federal Update from Wood Mason, Federal Student
Aid, US Department of Education.
To ensure continued access to subject matter experts and
provide conference participants with plenty of avenues to
exchange information, the conference also featured several
networking opportunities and offered a PC Lab.
PowerFAIDS Summer Camp
The one-day camp provided more than a dozen of our newest
users with foundations in selection sets, custom data,
navigational tools and disbursement processing in
PowerFAIDS. Additionally, summer camp attendees were
introduced to PowerFAIDS staff and more experienced users
during the opening reception which immediately followed
summer camp. Here they had an opportunity to make contacts
with fellow PowerFAIDS users in advance of the conference.
