Florida FAFSA Challenge
Completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is an important step in a student’s postsecondary education journey. Florida College Access Network started the Florida FAFSA Challenge in 2015 to encourage Florida schools and districts to increase FAFSA completion by 5% over the previous year and ensure students receive financial aid if they are eligible.
