“The FAFSA form is no longer an impediment to students going to college. The new form is simple, makes sense and it’s not hard to complete.” – Arne Duncan
Secretary of Education Arne Duncan today announced the expansion of an innovative pilot project to increase the number of students completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) in selected districts.
The one-year-old pilot project will be adding up 92 new school districts, helping identify students who need to complete the FAFSA.
Research indicates that 90 percent of students who complete the FAFSA will enroll in postsecondary education.
Through the pilot project, participating districts will access to FAFSA completion data and give students information about how to pursue a college education.
ED will be accepting applications for the pilot project until March 2. For details, see this announcement.
