NE-ND-MN-SD-WI FAFSA State Planning August

Building statewide formal and informal infrastructure to support FAFSA completions is critical for ensuring access to higher education and fostering student success once enrolled. During the state work sessions at the Midwest FAFSA Summit, participants met with others from their state who work with and/or are invested in increasing rates of FAFSA completions. During those work sessions, the state teams mapped out the array of organizations and resources devoted to supporting FAFSA completions in their state and discussed the challenges and opportunities for improving collaborations, connectedness, and communications. MHEC aims to continue facilitating such statewide conversations. For the first round of calls, MHEC has divided the meetings into sets of states. If you cannot attend the first round of calls but still wish to be included in FAFSA communications, please confirm your interest.
