MDHE's Client Service Representatives
Do you need personalized assistance from the Missouri Department of Higher Education?
The MDHE has four staff working in the field and available to help you!
Our client service representatives work daily to build relationships within Missouri's student financial aid community. They log in the miles and cover the state - from the bootheel to the Iowa border and all points in between - to provide support and technical assistance on financial aid topics such as student grants, scholarships, and federal student loan programs.
Services offered by the client services staff include:
-
Personalized assistance for the financial aid office, including training and assistance with processing issues or policy questions. The MDHE's client service representatives are knowledgeable about state aid and the FAMOUS system, as well as student loans, ATOM processes, and the MODEL Direct system.
-
Assistance for high school counselors. MDHE client service representatives can assist with financial aid night presentations, college fairs, and other events and services for students and parents. Check out the MDHE's speaker's bureau for a list of potential topics on which client service representatives and other staff may speak.
