Looking for a better way to chart FAFSA trends in your community?
Check out the US Department of Education’s Free Application for Federal Student Aid Completion Tool.
The searchable database provides weekly updates for every high school where five or more students have filed a FAFSA. The form is completed annually by current and prospective college students to determine their eligibility for financial assistance.
Data currently posted on the site includes applications processed through Dec. 30. The next data release is scheduled for Jan. 13 and will cover all applications processed through Jan. 6.
