Our autumn sessions for 2022 will continue to be virtual.
As always, they are designed to specifically speak to the issues of administrators processing US loans at international ‘foreign schools’.
The sessions break through the jargon. We will focus on translating exactly what the Feds are looking for in a non-US setting. The sessions are designed to help you feel more confident in administering the program with a focus on best practices and how to improve your procedures.
These sessions are for loan administrators only, to access the details please contact us.
