Organized in a tree hierarchy, the Ref Desk was designed to be simple and intuitive. It has top-level terms, common sets of informational resources for each term, and subtopics. A list of related terms and synonyms is also provided for each top-level term... The Student Aid Reference Desk (Ref Desk) was designed to provide trusted advisors and college access professionals with direct links to important financial aid regulations, legislation, research, and other key resources... In April 2014, NASFAA launched a tool, available exclusively to its members, known as the Student Aid Index. A precursor to the Student Aid Reference Desk, the Index was designed to provide financial aid administrators across the nation with quick access to the regulations and legislation they needed in order to do their jobs.
