FAF$A Matters Missoula
This year, in partnership with Montana’s Student Assistance Foundation, GMM trained MCPS teachers worked with students and families as “FAFSA coaches.” Due to the outreach made possible by the FAFSA coaches, FAFSA submissions before March 1st in MCPS were up 5% over last year! This means that more MCPS students and their families will be eligible for financial aid during their first year of postsecondary education. Way to go!
