2026 Annual Conference ǀ March 18 - 20 ǀ Elkhart Lake, WI
Empowering Futures ǀ Shaped by Pressure, Polished by Time
We're celebrating 60 years of WAFSAA!
Back in 1966, the world was a very different place. Our predecessors had the wherewithal to come together and create a professional organizational with the goal of keeping our industry connected.
It'll be your usual WASFAA conference with preconference, keynote, and interest sessions that will provide valuable information and resources on relevant topics to foster engaging conversations. But - with added fun and celebrations throughout!
We look forward to seeing you in Elkhart Lake next Spring!
WASFAA's Financial Aid InfluencersTo celebrate our many years of operation, we want you to share stories about who influenced you in your work or personal life! Is there one person who inspired you to dig a little deeper? Someone who recruited you to work in financial aid? Someone who pushed you to the next step in your career? Someone who changed your perspective? Stories will be shared in future newsletters and at the 2026 WASFAA Conference. | FeesFull Conference
