FAFSA COMPLETION PROJECT

The North Dakota University System (NDUS) is participating in a national effort to increase the number of FAFSA completions of high school seniors in the state.  The FAFSA Completion Project provides participating high school districts with individual student’s FAFSA completion information.  Counselors, or others who work directly with seniors, are able to log into E-Transcript to view FAFSA completion information.  This is a tool to help counselors determine which individual students have submitted a FAFSA and whether the FAFSA has any issues requiring follow-up for the student, such as missing signatures or verification. It provides the opportunity for targeted outreach to seniors as they navigate the financial aid process.
