OTC From The Field: Discussing NASFAA’s PEP Work with Sheila Meiman

This week on “Off the Cuff,” Allie is joined by Rachel and Sheila Meiman, NASFAA’s prison education specialist, to discuss the landscape of prison education programs (PEP). Sheila, who is retiring this month, details how PEP has changed in recent years and how her professional journey led her to NASFAA. Allie and Rachel discuss how a grant from Ascendium has allowed NASFAA to build capacity and bring more financial aid expertise to the field by providing new PEP resources, and explain how these tools have helped schools get their own programs off the ground. Sheila then shares her insight into the future of PEP.
