What is NAOB?

New Aid Officer Basics (NAOB) is TASFAA's foundational training workshop designed for financial aid professionals who are new to the field. Over the course of two and a half days, participants receive hands-on instruction in the core concepts and processes that shape everyday financial aid work.

Topics typically covered include the FAFSA application process, student eligibility, need analysis, Pell Grants, cost of attendance, campus-based aid, loans, professional judgment, and Texas state financial aid programs.
