MN FAFSA Tracker

The Office of Higher Education’s (OHE) FAFSA Tracker Tool aids high school counselors and college access programs in providing targeted outreach to students filing the FAFSA, which in turn supports the state’s FAFSA filing goal.

Use the FAFSA Tracker Tool to:

• Keep tabs on which of your students have submitted a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA)
• Check in to see if the student’s FAFSA is missing signatures
• Quickly identify which students have been selected for verification
• Pair this tool with resources from Minnesota Goes to College to help boost college knowledge for your students

To participate in this project, a district/school/organization will need to complete the data-sharing agreement (DSA), have it signed by a Data Receiver Authorized Representative (Principal, Superintendent or Other Executive), and return it to OHE. New DSAs are required at regular intervals.
