Fafsa Completion Rates Are Available Online March 15, 2012, 5:52 am Here's an incentive to hurry up and finish filling out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid: the federal government is now posting completion rates, by high school, online. For the first time, the Education Department is publicizing the number of seniors in each high school who have submitted and completed the Fafsa, which determines eligibility for many forms of financial aid. Students may have submitted their forms, but they may still be missing required information. Until the missing data is provided, the government cannot determine whether the student qualifies for federal aid. The online completion data is based on some automation and may not be exact. Still, it is intended to help high school counselors, among others, Inside Higher Ed reports. A quick look at high schools in New York reveals that a few stragglers may be keeping their schools from having 100 percent Fafsa completion rates. None of the students are listed by name, so there's a slim chance that guidance counselors - or anyone else, for that matter - will be able to tell who the holdouts are. To see data from your school, visit the online Data Center and select your state in the drop-down menu. The data, which may be downloaded as a spreadsheet, will be updated every two weeks.
