Financial aid offers are often cryptic and confusing to students and their families. Unfamiliar terminology, incomplete information and a lack of financial context make it hard for students to grasp the real cost of attending college. The advent of the "Shopping Sheet" and the College Financing Plan have done little to address this challenging problem. Using current research, NASFAA recommendations and proposed legislation as a guide, UW River Falls tackled the challenge of producing a clear and comprehensive financial aid offer notice for its entering students. This session will review the research, walk through the development process and discuss the lessons learned during this communication improvement project.
