The Massachusetts FAFSA Challenge is a statewide campaign dedicated to increasing the percentage of Massachusetts high school seniors who complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), an essential financial aid application for students to access federal, state, and institutional aid programs to help cover college costs. The challenge encourages all Massachusetts schools and districts to set a goal of FAFSA completion for as many students as possible. Please see the FAFSA Challenge flyer for the upcoming academic year – FAFSA Challenge flyer 2020-2021.
This was the third year of the FAFSA challenge and it was a great success! All high schools physically located in Massachusetts were invited to participate. Congratulations on a job well done by these high schools and congratulations to our winners for the 2019-20 FAFSA Day season!
