Dear PASFAA Community,
As the warmth of summer approaches, I want to take this opportunity to express my deepest appreciation to each and every one of you. This year has tested our resolve in unprecedented ways—from the challenges brought on by the FAFSA overhaul to the ever-changing landscape of higher education—but through it all, the PASFAA community has remained steadfast, supportive, and inspiring.
Your dedication to students, families, and the mission of access to education is nothing short of extraordinary. Behind every award letter, every call answered, and every challenge met with determination, is your unwavering commitment to making a difference. You are the heart of this profession, and I am incredibly proud to serve alongside you.
In the midst of our busiest seasons, it’s easy to overlook the impact we have. But I see it—in the shared knowledge during trainings, the encouragement offered in our forums, and the tireless advocacy on behalf of Pennsylvania students. PASFAA thrives because of you: your passion, your professionalism, and your willingness to lift each other up.
As we head into summer, I hope you find time to recharge, reflect, and reconnect—with your families, your passions, and your purpose. You’ve earned it! Let this season be a reminder that our work matters—and so do you.
Looking ahead, PASFAA remains focused on growth, service, and unity. Together, we will continue to rise to the moment, shape the future of financial aid, and ensure that every student has the opportunity to pursue their dreams.
Thank you for being the soul of this organization. Enjoy your summer and I look forward in seeing each of you in October at our yearly conference.
Thank you,
Jared Menghini
President
