Student Accounts and Financial Aid are rarely in the same room. Let’s change that.

Real, peer-led discussions
Candid conversation about what’s working, what’s not, and where the student financial experience is heading.
Role-specific breakout tracks
Go deep on student A/R, OB3 complexity, and more.
Leave with tangible take-aways
Templates, frameworks, and discussion outputs you can bring back to your team on Monday.
The right room
A curated guest list means you're surrounded by peers you can learn from and grow with.

Same Student, Different Systems

Rethinking the Financial Aid & Student Accounts Relationship

Forum Concludes

A few things people ask

Questions? Just ask. We're happy to talk through whether this forum is the right fit for you or your team.  Get in touch

Is this a sales event?

No. This is a professional learning and networking event, not a product pitch. Meadow facilitates and sponsors the day. There will be opportunities to learn more about how Meadow supports the student financial experience, but it's not the focus of the workshop.

What's the cost to attend?

There is no cost to attend. Meadow covers the event in full - venue, meals, and materials. Participants are responsible for their own transportation to and from Holloway Commons at the University of New Hampshire and any other incurred costs.

Do I need to be a Meadow partner to attend?

Not at all. The forum is open to Student Accounts and Financial Aid leaders from institutions across New England and the Northeast. If you're unsure whether it's the right fit, reach out — we're happy to talk it through.

When does registration close?

We are planning on closing registration by May 15, but please note that due to capacity constraints, we may close it earlier.

Do you have a justification letter or something I can send to my manager about why I should go?

Yes! We know taking time away from the desk can be tricky but worth it for this exceptional opportunity to learn and connect with peers. Access the letter here. If there's anything else we can help you with, reach out to hello@meadowfi.com
