Military Status: Why Schools Ask

Do you wonder why schools inquire about your military status on annual school forms or when your child enters a new school? The Military Student Identifier (MSI) and Federal Impact Aid Survey are two important factors, which provide valuable data and important funding to aid military-connected students. The MSI provides educators with critical information to personalize attention to military dependent children while the Impact Aid Survey counts the number of federally connected children (Active Duty, DoD civilian and contractors) that live and/or work on federal property.

Visit our website for more information on why you should be sure to complete these forms.
