17. Recommendations
• Strengthen support services to help students secure
financial aid resources.
• Prepare students for college attendance especially top
tier ones and to receive aid to attend these costly
intuitions.
• Extend articulation agreements and university
partnerships to include those institutions that are being
attended by students and those institutions that NAF
wishes to encourage students to attend.

18. Next Steps
Share survey with NAF departments, survey
participants, and partners.
• Two webinars in June 2013, for NAF staff
• Review survey outcomes with AOE
academies at NAF Next
• Develop presentations for the annual AOE
Counselors Conference in October, 2013.
• Convene partner to refine the survey content
for the coming year.
