Overview & More informations

FAFSA Challenge is a statewide competition that encourages high school seniors to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) by the March 1st priority deadline. The competition is sponsored by the Arizona Commission for Postsecondary Education and the Arizona Department of Education.

The FAFSA is a form that students must complete in order to apply for federal student aid, including grants, loans, and work-study programs. Completing the FAFSA is also required for students to be considered for state financial aid programs.

The FAFSA Challenge is designed to help students overcome the barriers that prevent them from completing the FAFSA, such as lack of awareness, lack of access to computers, and lack of support from their parents or guardians. The competition provides students with resources and support to help them complete the FAFSA, including:

* A website with information about the FAFSA and the FAFSA Challenge
* A hotline that students can call for help completing the FAFSA
* A network of counselors and mentors who can provide students with support and guidance

The FAFSA Challenge has been successful in increasing the number of students who complete the FAFSA. In 2019, over 70,000 Arizona high school seniors completed the FAFSA, a 10% increase from the previous year. The FAFSA Challenge has also helped to increase the amount of financial aid that Arizona students receive. In 2019, Arizona students received over $1 billion in federal and state financial aid, a 15% increase from the previous year.

The FAFSA Challenge is an important program that helps students access the financial aid they need to attend college. The competition is a success story that demonstrates the power of collaboration between government agencies, schools, and community organizations.
