• Application Help: Walk students through their financial aid forms (like the FAFSA) and help them gather the right paperwork.

• Provide Estimates: Give students a clear, easy-to-understand estimate of their financial aid and their out-of-pocket costs.

• People Skills: Excellent communication and customer service skills.
• Trustworthy: Can be completely trusted to protect sensitive, private financial information.
• Detail-Oriented: A sharp eye for detail and strong record-keeping habits.
• Adaptable: A natural problem-solver who can easily juggle multiple tasks at once.
