Hello Private Sector TASFAA Members,

It is important to stay abreast of what is happening in the education industry as well as the Federal Government to determine what effects it will have on our Financial Aid offices. 

Trends can help us determine workload needs and assist us with determining budgets and allocation of resources.  It is much better to be proactive than reactive.  We can never predict the future with certainty but knowledge of future events and past experiences can assist us in determine likelihoods.  "Prepare for the worst and hope for the best" can be sound advice.   

I was reading this article titled "Private Higher Education Trends for 2014" and thought I would share the link with you.
