Michigan FAFSA Tracker

CAN WE DO BETTER THAN LAST YEAR?

The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) remains the critical first step to securing funds for postsecondary pathways.

With the historic investment by our state through the Community College Guarantee and Michigan Achievement Scholarship, college affordability will be vastly improved for many families. Eligibility for both of those programs and for all other needs-based financial aid grants depends on completing and filing a FAFSA.

The FAFSA Tracker provides accessible data for schools to better understand their current FAFSA completion rates. The FAFSA Tracker provides all public schools and public charter schools with an individual school profile displaying current and previous year FAFSA completion data. It is an important resource for schools to track their progress and to easily highlight the successes. The FAFSA data displayed on the tracker is provided by MI Student Aid.

Michigan's Class of 2024 has completed 59,162 FAFSA applications as of 9/30/24
compared to the Class of 2023 completing 59,533 applications on 9/30/23
