FAFSA Completion Rates by High School (Free Application for Federal Student Aid)
As the cost of college continues to increase, financial aid becomes ever more important. While many factors are involved in the decision to attend college, a strong correlation exists between FAFSA completion and college enrollment. For a small school, So. Aroostook has traditionally held a high FAFSA completion rate. Much of the credit for our high rate goes to SACS School Counselor Jessica Greene and her work with students. If any SACS student or parent has questions about the FAFSA, please reach out to Mrs. Greene. Thank you Mrs. Greene!!
