You can help me by telling me all you know about FAFSA completion.
Of course. Are you aware that the cost of college continues to increase?
No, but I haven't really kept myself up to date with that.
Are you aware that many factors are involved in the decision to attend college?
Yes, it's quite intimidating sometimes.
Then you should also know that a strong correlation exists between FAFSA completion and college enrollment.
Yes, I've read that there were surveys about that.
That's correct. Previously, high schools relied on self-reported surveys to estimate their FAFSA completion rate, and that data can be inaccurate.
What if I have some concerns regarding my high school because of the data?
We've recently updated our FAQ and Data Details pages reflecting recent changes and trending questions, including why we recently changed the definition of a senior, why some schools are not listed on the FAFSA, and common errors or misconceptions when analyzing the data.
And what is done against inaccurate data?
Federal Student Aid is providing high schools with current data about their FAFSA submissions and completions so that high schools can track their progress and help to ensure that their students complete a FAFSA.
