MASFAA Statement on U.S. Department of Education Reduction in Force
The Massachusetts Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators (MASFAA) would like to express our disappointment in the administration’s recent decision to eliminate a significant number of positions from the Department of Education, including more than 600 positions from the office of Federal Student Aid. The loss of these vital roles will not only have a significant impact on students and families applying for financial aid each year, but also the financial aid administrators that work to support them.
As colleagues and partners in the financial aid process, MASFAA stands in solidarity with the former Department of Education employees and would like to offer an opportunity for them to join us for a complimentary Associate Membership for the remainder of the 2024-2025 award year. This membership includes access to our jobs board, membership directory, and remaining programming for the year. It is our hope that this will provide resources to support those who may be seeking their next opportunity at a Massachusetts institution.
Please contact Jill Glaze, Senior Director of Student Financial Services, Bunker Hill Community College, at jmclarke@bhcc.edu if you are interested in joining.
