Statewide FAFSA Filing Goal and Dashboard
Statewide FAFSA Filing Goal and Dashboard
Working to increase FAFSA filing by 5 percentage points every year for 5 years. For the class of 2022, our state’s goal is to see FAFSA filing reach 53%, while closing gaps in FAFSA filing by race/ethnicity.
To combat recent declines in FAFSA filing among Minnesota’s high school seniors, the 2020 Minnesota Legislature enacted legislation directing the Office of Higher Education (OHE) to set an annual goal for FAFSA filing among high school seniors. For the class of 2021, only 48% of seniors filed a FAFSA, an all-time low in recent years. In coordination with the Minnesota Department of Education, OHE has set a goal of increasing FAFSA filing by 5 percentage points every year for 5 years, with a focus on closing gaps in FAFSA filing for Black, Indigenous, and other students of color.
FAFSA Tracker for Schools and College Access Programs
FAFSA Tracker for Schools and College Access Programs
The Office of Higher Education’s FAFSA Tracker Tool aids high school counselors and college access programs in providing targeted outreach to students filing the FAFSA, which in turn supports the state’s FAFSA filing goal.
Use the FAFSA Tracker Tool to:
Keep tabs on which of your students have submitted a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA)
Check in to see if the student’s FAFSA is missing signatures
Quickly identify which students have been selected for verification
Pair this tool with resources from Minnesota Goes to College to help boost college knowledge for your students
