Joyce Hall can answer questions about the types of student aid available and provide tips on making the application process as painless as possible for both students and their parents. Hall has 16 years of experience in student aid administration, and she served as president of the Indiana Student Financial Aid Association and as a member of the Midwest Student Financial Aid Association.
