In 2024, MHEC along with the National College Attainment Network (NCAN) and State Higher Education Executive Officers Association (SHEEO) hosted the Midwest FAFSA Summit. The convening was organized by the Midwestern Higher Education Compact (MHEC) to increase understanding of challenges in supporting FAFSA completions in Midwestern states; share promising practices and innovative strategies for increasing FAFSA completions; and develop connections, collaborations, and plans to boost FAFSA completion rates. This event brought together stakeholders such as policymakers, educators, counselors, and higher education leaders to collaborate on solutions for increasing access to financial aid through FAFSA.
