1639390415429222400 | This is why @usedgov should be equipped and sufficiently resourced to do its own loan collections, and why #studentloan servicers who hurt students and deliberately make their education less affordable should not be permitted to be @nasfaa members. #fachat https://t.co/8MHpxF875c | 12 |

1641133773671612416 | @mikeitzkowitz @justindraeger @nasfaa Ten years into the career they have earnings levels that match stem. They get promoted faster.

1638337733532811264 | @nasfaa @erichoov After people have been trained about doing FAFSA starting October 1 for years now? So that colleges can get aid packages to families as early as possible and they can make informed decisions? I am confused about this decision. | 1 |
