Join us in congratulating Jeff Anderson for receiving the PacFAA Distinguished Service Award at the PacFAA Conference in May.
"Jeff recently led a truly groundbreaking effort—bringing in-person financial aid training to colleagues across the Pacific Islands for the very first time in PacFAA’s history. He traveled to Guam and Palau to assist our colleagues from Guam, Palau Community College, the College of Micronesia - FSM, and the College of the Marshall Islands, to provide support and share important updates.
During these sessions, Jeff covered everything from Pell Grant awarding to Federal Work Study, FSEOG, and FISAP, helping ensure our partners in the Pacific had the tools and information they needed to navigate the ever-changing world of financial aid, especially with the rollout of the new FAFSA.
What made this initiative even more special was the sense of connection and collaboration Jeff helped foster. These weren’t just training sessions—they were opportunities to share experiences, challenges, and solutions, strengthening the entire network of support for students in the region.
Jeff’s work reflects the heart of what PacFAA is all about: community, leadership, and a commitment to helping students succeed. We’re grateful for his passion and leadership, and we’re honored to present him with this well-deserved award," - PacFAA President Sherrie Padilla
