I worked alongside Tia Smith at the Univeristy of Arizona Office of Scholarships and Financial Aid and she is a current classmate of mine in the M.S. in Education Leadership Program at NAU. Tia is one of the most professional, intentional, empathetic and kind colleagues I have had within my years at the UA. She is always willing to assist her peers and her students. Tia is extremely knowledgeable and a great asset to the UA and the Financial Aid world. I am happy to recommend Tia and I know that she will do great things to serve students and the community.
