Student Financial Aid Counselor

Student Financial Services Counselor

Help students make sense of one of the most important, and sometimes most overwhelming, parts of their college experience.

Colorado State University Pueblo is seeking a Student Financial Services Counselor to help current and prospective students and their families navigate financial aid, understand their options, and make informed decisions about financing their education.

This is a highly student-facing role for someone who enjoys helping people, solving problems, explaining complex information in an approachable way, and working across multiple areas of a university. In addition to financial aid counseling and application processing, this position supervises student employees, participates in recruitment and outreach throughout southern Colorado, delivers presentations and financial literacy education, and helps ensure students have access to clear and accurate financial aid information.

You do not need to spend your entire career in financial aid to be successful in this position. If you have strong customer service skills, enjoy working with students and families, are comfortable learning detailed regulations and systems, and can communicate complicated information clearly, we encourage you to apply.
