FAFSA Student Level Data - Counselor Feedback Form
WSCA has heard from a number of schools that there have been some questions and challenges accessing and using the FAFSA student level data. WSCA has been in contact with the DPI senior staff regarding some of these concerns and is arranging a meeting to further discuss how to best support districts in using this data.  Please share your experiences below so we have a broad representation of district experiences in using the FAFSA student level data in the WISEdash for districts portal.  If your district has not completed a DPI District FAFSA Data Sharing Agreement, please go to https://dpi.wi.gov/wisedash/districts/about-data/FAFSA for additional information.
