Decoding Financial Aid Offers: Tools and Strategies for Practitioners
Thursday, April 2, 2026
2:00 PM - 3:00 PM EST
Zoom
Financial aid offers can be confusing, inconsistent, and difficult to compare — and for students who have never navigated the process before, the stakes of misunderstanding them are high. This panel will draw on findings from uAspire's new report, Caution: Prices May Vary, to set the context for a practitioner-focused conversation about how college access and success professionals can better support students through the financial aid review process.
Panelists from organizations across the country will share strategies for helping students make sense of their offers, compare options, and make financially-informed college decisions. We will also discuss approaches to tracking student data and measuring impact. The session will close with time for audience questions and a review of helpful resources.
Whether you are new to financial aid advising or a seasoned practitioner, this session will offer practical takeaways you can apply immediately in your work with students.
