MoWest’s Haley Lindsey earns national recognition

ST. JOSEPH, Mo. (KQTV) -- Missouri Western State University Director of Financial Aid, Haley Lindsey, was recognized by the National Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators (NASFAA) as its Most Valuable Professional (MVP).

The distinguished honor highlights Lindsey’s dedication to student success and her contributions to the financial aid profession.

Lindsey is featured on the NASFAA website, which celebrates the achievement.

In 2013, Lindsey earned her Bachelor of Business Administration in tourism and hospitality from Fort Hays State University.

She went on to earn her Master of Science in higher education administration in 2018, also from Fort Hays State University.

Lindsey has worked in financial aid for higher education for 11 years. Her last two years have been at MoWest, where she says she's enjoyed her time.

 “As an open-access university, we welcome a wide mix of students — first-generation, transfers, adult learners, and veterans — and that diversity makes the work both exciting and meaningful,” Lindsey said. “You get to meet students where they are and help them find their path forward.”

Outside of working, Lindsey enjoys spending time with her son and painting.
