Volunteer for FAFSA February!

Check out our new video on FAFSA February, a national campaign to help students complete the federal FAFSA financial aid form and pursue their dream of college. Each year hundreds of MPS students fail to get federal college aid because they don't complete the FAFSA - and these students are 70% less likely to apply to college. To learn how you can help, call Rebecca Noecker at 612.455.1571.
