financial aid officer

College money advisor

A financial aid officer is a professional at a college or university who helps students navigate funding for their education.

They assess applications, determine eligibility for grants, loans, scholarships, and work-study programs, and assemble aid packages.

Students meet with financial aid officers to understand their options, appeal decisions, or address changes in circumstances: The financial aid officer helped me find additional grants when my family situation changed.
