FAFSA Completion Strategies
Data indicates that a senior who completes the FAFSA is 84% more likely to enroll in postsecondary education, and 90% of high school seniors who complete the FAFSA immediately enroll in postsecondary education programs. The State of Michigan is providing financial incentives to support schools as they prioritize FAFSA completion. Now, more than ever, it is critical that schools and districts create FAFSA completion goals and monitor them regularly, build shared ownership, establish partnerships, and spread awareness. The Michigan College Access Network (MCAN) has put together the following strategies and activities known to drive FAFSA completion rates.
The FAFSA completion strategies and activities are grouped by the categories listed below. Click the drop-down menus to view the list of recommended FAFSA completion strategies and corresponding resources.
