I have been working in financial aid for the past 25 years and 23 out of the 25 years as a Director of financial Aid; my greates obstacle was to be knowledge of all the federal regulations and I did overcome it reading the Federal Handbook and attending workshops, eyc. You will always have to be reading the regulations and attending workshops, etc(these days there are not too many workshops) but you can read the Federal Handbook;the Federal REgister and the Blue Book. We always have to be in compliance with federal regulations.
