2017 has already been a banner year for the Florida FAFSA Challenge. The statewide initiative seeks to increase completion of the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) by 5% compared to last year, and Florida surpassed that goal more than a month before the campaign’s conclusion on March 31.
To celebrate individual schools meeting that same 5% goal, Florida College Access Network is holding weekly drawings to award college banner kits to those schools. The kits are generously provided by the College Football Playoff Foundation and the Tampa Bay Sports Commission, and they each contain 20 collegiate banners for all of Florida’s universities as well as others in the NCAA.
The schools receiving banner kits as a result of the March 17 drawing are:
