2024 MSFAA Annual Conference


MSFAA President Welcome Note

Welcome to MSFAA! My name is Louie Krause and I am honored to serve as MSFAA’s 2023-24 President. If you are looking for a financial aid community that is student-centered, professional development-focused, and community-minded, you have found the right place. We invite you to join us through membership.

Our theme this year is “MSFAA: Choose Your Wheel.”  Using the Wellness Wheel as a springboard, MSFAA this year will not only create opportunities for you to learn and grow in your profession (think occupational, intellectual, and financial) , but also provide ways to support the other areas of the wheel like physical, spiritual, emotional, and social.  MSFAA knows that in order for our students to achieve their academic goals, our offices need to be supported and MSFAA is one of those supports. 

As we embark on this new post-COVID-19 normal please know that you are not alone. You have colleagues across the state who are going through similar challenges. Use the benefit of membership to reach out to colleagues with your questions or to MSFAA with suggestions. Remember we are in this together.

We cannot do the great work of our association without volunteers. The MSFAA Board and I invite you to join us. There are many ways that you can get involved and at a commitment level that works for you. If you are interested reach out to me or a member of the MSFAA Board. You will not regret it and you will make lifetime friends.

Louie Krause

    •  Fostering Futures Silent AuctionFor the past years, MSFAA has sponsored the Fostering Futures Scholarship program where we have raised nearly $50,000 to make foster youth dreams come true. This State of Michigan scholarship program provides financial assistance for tuition and fees, books and supplies, & room and board to foster care students. Many of these recipients are first generation college students who could not achieve their dream of a higher education without our generosity and support. During this new year, let’s continue to make “Dreams Come True” by donating items to the Fostering Futures Silent Auction. Don't forget your baskets!
