ISFAA Membership: Transitioning to Organizational Membership in 2025

ISFAA membership fosters collaboration and professional growth among Indiana’s financial aid professionals. Starting in 2025, we’re shifting to an organizational membership model that:

• Allows institutions to enroll multiple staff members for a collective membership experience
• Expands access to resources, training, and networking opportunities to strengthen financial aid practices across Indiana
• Provides a more inclusive voting process, where each member on an institution’s roster can vote

Seamless Transition for 2024 Members:

• Current 2024 individual members have automatically had their organization account created.
• Individual members will be transitioned over to the new system behind the scenes, with no action required on their part.
• This ensures a smooth and seamless experience, with all members continuing to have access to the full range of ISFAA benefits and resources.

With nearly 50 organizations committed to renewal as of December 1, 2024, ISFAA continues to grow and support the success of Indiana’s students.

If you have any issues with renewing your membership, or cannot create a profile, please reachout to [email protected].

ISFAA Membership Fee Structure by Institution Size

Institution Size Determination

ISFAA uses data from the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS) to determine the size of member institutions. Specifically, we rely on IPEDS’ full-time enrollment data to categorize schools by size. This helps ensure that ISFAA membership and benefits are tailored to the needs of institutions based on their student enrollment size.

For more information or to view IPEDS data, visit the IPEDS website.

Institutional Membership Eligibility

ISFAA’s organizational membership model allows institutions of higher education located in the State of Indiana to register as a member and add an unlimited number of staff members to their profile. This flexibility enables institutions to involve as many of their financial aid professionals as they wish, ensuring that all relevant staff can access ISFAA’s valuable resources, training, and networking opportunities.

Additionally, each member listed on the institutional roster will have the opportunity to vote, ensuring that all voices within the institution can contribute to ISFAA’s decision-making processes.
