Financial Aid and Literacy

 

The Financial Aid and Literacy priority is focused on the following efforts:

• Identifying opportunities in policy and practice to reduce affordability barriers and access barriers to college for all students
• Increasing student and family understanding of available support to pay for postsecondary education
• Bolstering advising support for low-income students and families to build awareness of postsecondary pathway options and the myriad of ways to afford them
• Routinely gathering leaders and practitioners to jointly identify opportunities to strengthen financial access and supports for all of Minnesota's students and families 

In 2025 this committee is focused on conducting a landscape analysis of current statewide efforts to increase FAFSA completion. This work will result in a summary document to be presented to the partnership in late 2025 for discussion and further action.
