Join us for the 25th annual Rocky Mountain Summer Institute
on the beautiful campus of Colorado School of Mines
in Golden, Colorado.

Why should you attend?

TOP-NOTCH TRAINING
Summer Institute is known nationally as the premier training event year after year. You’ll receive 4 ½ days packed full of sessions covering news affecting the student aid industry.

The Core Track is designed for the new financial aid professional from one month on up or for those moving into new responsibilities in financial aid. There are times when we all feel “NEW” to our profession because of the many changes. You too are welcome to join and learn all over! NASFAA’s CORE material will provide in-depth training on major topics necessary to the daily operation of the Financial Aid Office. Classes will be limited in size and divided by level and length of experience. Each class will have two faculty dedicated to spending the week teaching you the basics.

Topics for the Advanced Level track have been carefully selected with the experienced financial aid professional in mind. Join us for 4 ½ days of critical thinking and sharing with your colleagues. Presentations and discussions will focus on issues that consume the time of Directors, Associate/Assistant Directors, or program coordinators in the Financial Aid Office.

Topics for the Associate Level track have been carefully selected with the student loan professional (lender, guarantor, servicer, secondary market, or other associate member) in mind. Attending Summer Institute 2006 will offer each participant the chance to make new contacts (network), brainstorm with your peers (professional development), and learn from industry leaders (educate).

INTERACTION WITH COLLEAGUES
Summer Institute provides you with the ideal setting to network in a casual atmosphere with your colleagues. We anticipate at least 130 participants attending primarily from the eight RMASFAA states, but also from all across the country. We will have structured (and fun!) activities on some nights, free evenings on others.

Registration Priority Date: Saturday, May 13, 2006

NOTE: A late fee of $100 will be assessed for all registrations received after Saturday, May 13, 2006.
