Regents push FAFSA graduation requirement sparks mixed views
Regents discuss making FAFSA completion a high school graduation prerequisite in Kansas. After one year Louisiana saw a 26 point rise to 74 percent, while Kansas lags behind with 2021 completion around 47 percent. Regents caution about unintended consequences without strong high school support systems, stressing that conversations with staff are key to making college affordable and reversing enrollment declines.
