Celebrate NOVA’s Financial Aid Team on National Financial Aid Day!

October 18, 2023 / Faculty/Staff Highlights

You may have seen them in action… delivering a presentation to an SDV class, counseling a first-generation college student on aid options or perhaps making it look easy as they administer all those complex, ever-changing financial aid programs. You know who we’re talking about — NOVA’s multitalented Financial Aid team! 

In the spirit of National Financial Aid Day (October 18), please take a moment to celebrate your amazing financial aid colleagues, and thank them for all they do to provide access to the financial resources so many students need to attend NOVA.   

Here are a few quotes from NOVA’s Financial Aid team about why they love working in financial aid:

“I love working in financial aid because we are constantly changing the lives of the students we work with.” Shannon Martinez (Fairfax)

“I enjoy working at the Financial Aid office because it gives me the satisfaction to know that I was a part of a student’s success.”  Saima Khan (AL)

“I love being able to help people.”  Jimmy Mauger (AL)

“I enjoy working with a diverse group of professionals who are dedicated to student success.”  Tatiana Hunter (WO)

“The Financial Aid office touches every aspect of a student’s college experience. From advising to student life, the Financial Aid office plays a role and it’s great to be in the center of all the action. I love working in financial aid because, while everyone else focuses on a student’s academic success, I get to focus on their financial success.”  Jack Zegeer (LO)
