<p class="MsoNormal">Travis Dulany and I collaborated on this paper, which was developed to better understand the financial aid landscape for students in our system, in preparation for the new Washington College Grant investments and program changes. All of
the analysis in the paper comes from a new financial aid dashboard that Travis developed and will be discussing in the webinar on Thursday, June 4<sup>th</sup> at 9:00 (invite sent to all staff on 5/27) . We are excited about the opportunity to share the dashboard
and demonstrate the kinds of research questions it can answer through the new paper. Hope you all can make it!<o:p></o:p></p>
