President’s Message

I am both honored and excited to serve as the newly elected president. Although I did not get to say much at the conference this year, I am excited for what 2025 will bring, but also holding my breath of what is on the horizon. I want to take a moment to thank you for entrusting me with this role. It is a privilege to work alongside such a dedicated and passionate group of professionals who are committed to helping students access higher education.

As we ring in this new year and start another presidential year, I am eager to continue the important work of supporting our members and advocating for policies that promote equity and access to financial aid. Our collective efforts over the past year have made a tremendous impact in our state, and together, I know we can accomplish even more in the coming months and years.

After a rough 2024, from many perspectives, I believe that by fostering collaboration, sharing best practices, and continuing to stay informed about the latest trends and challenges in financial aid, we will be better equipped to serve our students and help them succeed in their academic journeys. I also encourage all members to actively participate in NHASFAA events, workshops, and networking opportunities. Your input and engagement are vital to our continued growth and success.

Thank you again for your support, and I look forward to working with all of you to strengthen NHASFAA and further its mission of enhancing access to postsecondary education for all New Hampshire students.

Warm regards,

Rebecca (Becky) McFarland
Southern New Hampshire University
President, NHASFAA
