Finding Scholarships Scholarship Spotlight: The National Catholic College Admission Association Scholarship Written by Beth Feinberg Keenanon September 5th, 2021 I started my career at Lesley University and spent over a decade at Northeastern University’s Office for Student Financial Services, where I was a senior assistant director. At Northeastern, I worked with applicants for financial aid, athletes, and families interested in financing their educations. In addition, I have served as an ambassador with the Massachusetts Education Finance Authority, visiting Massachusetts high schools to introduce students and parents to the financial aid process and the many sources of education financing that are available.

I serve as an ambassador with the Massachusetts Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators.
