Federal Student Aid Performance

As a results-oriented organization, Federal Student Aid strives to more effectively manage our programs and better serve our many customers. This is the motivating force behind our five strategic objectives:

To integrate Federal Student Aid systems and provide new technology solutions;
To improve program integrity to facilitate access to postsecondary education, while reducing vulnerability of the federal student financial assistance programs to fraud, waste, abuse and mismanagement;
To reduce program administration costs;
To improve human capital management; and
To improve products and services to provide better customer service.

Taken collectively, these objectives provide the framework for continuous improvement at Federal Student Aid, providing clear strategic direction to all of Federal Student Aid's internal and external constituencies.
