Blue Icon Advisors, NASFAA Consulting: When the Rules Change but Resources Don't: Advocating for Financial Aid Support

Institutions are being asked to do more with less—and the sweeping changes introduced under the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” have dramatically increased complexity, workload, and compliance risks for financial aid offices, often without a corresponding increase in staffing or resources. 

As institutional leaders navigate these changes, many teams know they need additional support—particularly outsourced services—but struggle to convince senior leadership that external help is not just helpful, but necessary to ensure institutional compliance and student service.

In this practical, strategy-focused webinar, we’ll explore how to effectively advocate for outsourced services and external support to connect regulatory changes, operational bottlenecks, and student impact in ways that resonate with executive leadership and budget decision-makers. The panel will share practical experiences and ideas.
