FIRST for Financial Aid Officers
 |
In an increasingly complex financial climate, financial aid officers
must continue to provide their students with timely information and a
wide range of services. FIRST for Medical Education offers a range of
resources designed to:
-
Support FAOs in helping students achieve financial literacy and investigate
their best options
-
Advise their students on effectively managing their education debt
-
Advance the FAO professional development with targeted financial literacy
and debt management curriculum
-
Provide timely information on legislative and regulatory issues
|
The FIRST program offers:
Entrance
and Exit Interview Presentations on the GSA members site (AAMC Login required)
FIRST Facts
Short informational
sheets on a variety of financial aid related topics. FIRST Facts are designed to let your students know just what you need to know about
a subject, reducing often confusing or complex topics to the basics.
Resources
Guides, publications, and
Web resources to help your students understand financial aid. Multiple copies of FIRST publications
are available free of charge to AAMC member institutions through AAMC Publications.

Interactive Web tools including
financial calculators and an economic hardship deferment worksheet.
Lender
Assessment Tool
The purpose of the Lender Assessment Tool is to provide data for financial
aid offices to use in support of their selection of lenders for a preferred
lender list. Log in for access.
