Montana Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators

Welcome!

The Montana Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators (MASFAA) is an organization serving the needs of students, institutions of higher education, government agencies, and private funding sources through the coordination of plans and programs for student financial aid.
In addition, MASFAA assists with communications between institutions of post-secondary education and sponsors of student financial aid.
The Association serves as the State forum and acts as the focus for the expression of views on matters relating to the development, funding and administration of student financial aid at the state, regional and national levels. Support is available from colleges in your area. (See the link to the map below.) Need something else? Please reach out via email to the President or the board.

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE

Dear MASFAA Members,

As we turn the page to a new academic year, I want to take a moment to extend my best wishes to each of you for a smooth and successful start to 2025–2026.

Here in Montana, summer offers a brief but welcome pause—a chance to reset before the pace of fall picks up again. I hope you've had time to rest, reflect, and reconnect to family and friends.

Across our campuses and institutions, this season brings fresh challenges and opportunities. The work we do in financial aid continues to make a meaningful difference in the lives of students and their families. I am continually inspired by the commitment, resilience, and collaboration that define our MASFAA community.

As we begin this new year, know that MASFAA is here to support you—through professional development, advocacy, and the shared strength of our network. Thank you for all that you do.

With appreciation and best wishes for the year ahead.

Warm Regards,
Carol Will

RMASFAA Leadership Pipeline

https://www.rmasfaa.org/general_information.php

The first of its kind among regional financial aid associations, the Leadership Pipeline program is designed to foster a heightened understanding of leadership principles - uniquely focused on the profession of financial aid administration - and provide direct exposure to association leadership, governance, structure, needs, and challenges. The Leadership Application is available in early spring. The application generally consists of a personal letter of interest, supervisor letter of support, and a commitment to association volunteerism upon successful completion of the program. Selected mentees will be notified by the Leadership Pipeline Chair in late summer of their admission into the program.
