Milwaukee leaders are begging local high school seniors to fill out their paperwork to receive financial aid for college this fall, saying far fewer students have done so during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The FAFSA, which stands for Free Application for Federal Student Aid, is key to college-going students ability to get federal grants and loans to pay for college. It also helps students get scholarships and other financial aid from the state and the colleges they want to attend.
On Wednesday, Milwaukee Public Schools Superintendent Keith Posley, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Chancellor Mark Mone, Milwaukee Area Technical College President Vicki Martin and Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett met virtually with community organizations to call on anyone who knows a high school senior to make sure they filled out the form.
