Missouri FAFSA Completion Project

FAFSA Completion Logo

 

Completing a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is key to accessing higher education for many high school seniors.

 

Research shows that students who complete a FAFSA are more likely to attend a two- or four-year college or vocational/technical school.

 

The goal of the Missouri FAFSA Completion Project is to increase the number of students in Missouri who successfully complete a FAFSA. High school administrators and counselors can access a secure webpage to view their High School FAFSA Report in order to offer assistance to students who need help completing a FAFSA. This step-by-step tutorial provides the information available through the Missouri FAFSA Completion Project.

 

To protect student privacy, the High School FAFSA Report is available beginning in early October, when FAFSA information first becomes available for seniors, through June 30, when the seniors have graduated and the high school's working relationship with the student has ended.

 

 

Aggregate information (below) shows the percentage of seniors completing the FAFSA at all public high schools in Missouri.
