NASFAA urges you to participate in a new discussion about issues central to the National Conversation Initiative (NCI). New topics will be posted twice each week through January 2009.

All comments are welcome! You may comment on any topic in the forum as often as you wish. Comments submitted by individuals with myNASFAA accounts (using your work email address to post) will be considered as NASFAA develops its NCI recommendations. Both members and non-members can have myNASFAA accounts, so if you don’t have your account yet, please create an account now.

Comments from new users will be held for a brief period to ensure they are not SPAM. Once someone has commented twice they will be able to post comments in real time. While comments may be posted under pseudonyms, we will be tracking users’ email addresses internally. Rest assured that email addresses will not be displayed publicly on the blog.

This blog is meant to facilitate discussion. It is understood that comments posted to this blog represent the opinions of the participants, not the organizations or institutions with which they are associated. Users should still remember that this is a public blog and should be cautioned about saying anything that they would not want seen in public or referred to in a NASFAA publication. NASFAA reserves the right to remove any post that is inappropriate or off-topic.

Thank you for your participation in the National Conversation Initiative. Enjoy the forum and come back often to lend your voice to the conversation. With your help, we have the power to help break down the financial barriers to higher education!
