 Call for Proposals to Present at the 27th Student Financial Aid Research Network (SFARN) Conference San Diego, CA June 10-12, 2010 The Student Financial Aid Research Network (SFARN) seeks proposals for presentations at the 27th Annual Conference to be held in San Diego, CA. Proposals should be based on national, state or institutional level research or inquiries on student aid, college costs, student access, choice, and retention issues, or related matters. The Network is a national association of practitioners and consumers of research and policy analysis on student financial aid. Its members come from state grant and loan agencies, federal agencies, faculties and staff of postsecondary institutions, education associations, and other groups. The Network was created by members of the National Association of State Student Grant and Aid Programs (NASSGAP) and the National Council for Higher Education Loan Programs (NCHELP) to encourage and disseminate research to inform public policies at the state and federal levels. Proposals may be for individual papers or panel discussions. The conference uses a plenary session format in which presentations are made to the entire audience (approximately 100 participants). Individual presentations are usually limited to 30 minutes, while panels may be up to one hour. This year we are asking potential presenters to submit their proposals using a submission form — it is an unlocked Word Document that you need to complete to provide the information about the work you wish to submit. The main purpose of the form is to ensure that the Planning Committee has enough information to make decisions about the conference agenda. The form can be downloaded from the Pell Institute website by clicking here (.docx). Please complete and submit the proposal form via e-mail to (ctob68@yahoo.com). All proposals must be submitted by 5:00 PST, Friday, March 12, 2010. (Use as much space as is necessary.) To see selected titles from past conferences, please see (2010_Selected_Agenda_Topics.pdf). You will receive an email confirming receipt of your proposal — if you do not receive an email within 24 hours, feel free to contact Colleen O'Brien, SFARN Conference Coordinator via cell phone at (571) 236-7441 to make sure your proposal has been successfully received. The Planning Committee will review all proposals received, and presenters will be contacted after March 31st. The SFARN Planning Committee regrets that our budget does not allow us to waive the nominal Conference registration fee for persons selected to make presentations. However, we do have "tuition remission" grants available for graduate students who may wish to present papers-these are available on a first-come, first-serve basis. Registration materials will be sent in April to all of those on the Network mailing list. If you are not on the list, please e-mail your name and contact information to (ctob68@yahoo.com). In addition, the Planning Committee encourages you to please forward this to any interested parties and/or any list-serves or mailing lists that you think would benefit from knowing about this. As always, we apologize for any duplicates you may receive — please let us know as the list maintenance is ongoing. If you no longer wish to receive these emails, just send an email letting us know and we will remove your name from the list. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at (ctob68@yahoo.com) or via cell at (571) 236-7441. Thank you for your interest in SFARN and we hope to see you in San Diego!
