The Tennessee Higher Education Commission/Tennessee Student Assistance Corporation (THEC/TSAC) hosts the TN FAFSA Challenge in order to honor schools and personnel who are doing the work of FAFSA completion. We also hope to increase the FAFSA completion rate among students in Tennessee. Students who complete the FAFSA are more likely to enroll in higher education, persist in their college coursework, and obtain a degree. While many schools will have higher FAFSA completion rates by the time students graduate, additional state funding, institutional dollars, and private scholarships may be available if the FAFSA is completed earlier in their senior year of high school. High schools will be recognized at the end of FAFSA season as leaders in FAFSA completion–both overall and year to year. Schools are able to track their progress using the data visualizations on the TN FAFSA Frenzy page of CollegeForTN.
The Tennessee Higher Education Commission will recognize schools for outstanding achievement in the categories listed above. Recognition will come in a variety of ways:
Designated schools will receive wall clings to display proudly in school hallways.
Designated schools will be recognized on CollegeForTN, social media, and in College Access and Success Newsletters.
Trophies will be sent to designated schools in the Most Improved and Highest Completion categories.
The Tennessee Higher Education Commission and Tennessee Student Assistance Corporation have created and curated a number of resources for students and schools to support TN FAFSA Frenzy efforts. Student resources include step-by-step FAFSA-filing instructions and videos. School resources include resources and guides focused on helping high schools strengthen their TN FAFSA Frenzy efforts.
