The Indiana Student Financial Aid Association (ISFAA) is excited to announce the 2025 Directors’ Day, a no-cost professional development event designed for financial aid directors and senior aid administrators across Indiana.

Join your colleagues for a day dedicated to connection, collaboration, and leadership growth. Together, we’ll explore timely topics impacting our institutions—from federal and state updates to the evolving relationship between K-12 and higher education—and engage in thoughtful conversations that strengthen our collective leadership.
