Background

Introduction

The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) allows students to apply for federal aid to pay for college. For most students seeking aid, completing this application is the first step in paying for their college education. The amount of aid offered and received by a student is the largest single predictor of college completion (Attewell, Heil, & Reisel, 2010). Tracking FAFSA completion will ensure that students who are eligible for this aid are aware of this option and complete the necessary paperwork in a timely manner.
