Reasons range from students who don’t think they are eligible , to those who were stumped by the FAFSA form, to those who think they don’t need the money.

Questions to consider:

1) How can high schools work with both juniors and seniors to help every student on
free and reduced lunch complete and submit the FAFSA?

2) How can parents and educators in low income families be informed of the FAFSA so that they can oversee this with their child, guardian or foster child?
