Financial Aid Compliance Solutions - Let’s Talk Financial Aid for College™

Hello, my name is Daina Anderson Sharples. I am the owner of DAS Financial Aid Consulting Services, LLC, and the creator of the college financial aid literacy program - Financial Aid Compliance Solutions. I created this program to assist college-bound students, and financial aid professionals in understanding how the United States Department of Education’s Higher Ed system works. There is a lack of understanding with the $1.76 trillion in student loan aid debt. I aim to provide the knowledge to help students pay for their college education without going into unnecessary debt to the United States Government.
