Rhode Island FAFSA Initiative
The cost of college and career training can be a barrier for many students, so completing the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) is essential for students to qualify for federal, state, and institutional funds. Students can receive up to $6,895 per year in Federal Pell grants.
tools for students, educators, and families
The Dashboard below shows how many students are completing the FAFSA in each Rhode Island high school so we can track our progress.
This toolkit includes information and helpful resources for schools, families, and students.
This portal will allow qualified administrators and staff to access student-level completion data online. In order to access the portal, please make sure that your school team has submitted this Data-sharing agreement to FAFSA@riopc.edu as soon as possible (instructions here).
