FAFSA Completion Project
The goal of the FAFSA Completion Project is to improve FAFSA completion rates among high school seniors. 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.
