Student Financial Aid Research Network (SFARN) Conference

The 42nd Student Financial Aid Research Network (SFARN) Conference will take place July 10-11, 2025, at the University of Maryland, College Park. At a critical time when education and research are under serious attack, SFARN provides a vital space for researchers, policymakers, and advocates to unite, share insights, and advance research that protects equitable access to education. We invite proposals on pressing issues such as federal and state policy changes, college food insecurity, student loan debt, access for low-income and non-traditional students, updates on the “Better FAFSA,” and Pell restoration for incarcerated individuals. Join us in shaping the future of student aid research and policy.
