TN FAFSA Frenzy
TN FAFSA Frenzy is the State of Tennessee’s FAFSA completion initiative, designed to provide educators and students with resources to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and take an important step in the college-going process.
Overview
Created with the goal of increasing statewide FAFSA-filing rates, TN FAFSA Frenzy is a statewide campaign to encourage and support seniors filing their Free Applications for Federal Student Aid. While elementary and middle school students might not be ready to file a FAFSA, TN FAFSA Frenzy is an excellent time to teach students about the basics of financial aid and financial literacy.
Social Media Toolkit
To help increase the FAFSA completion rate among high school students in Tennessee, we are asking you to help share information about the #TNPROMISE FAFSA completion deadline and the #TNFAFSAChallenge with your followers! To help, we have pulled together a few tips, sample posts and images, and materials you may use!
Student Resources
Step-by-step FAFSA-filing instructions and videos to help students complete the FAFSA.

Social Media and Outreach
Reaching out to local media is a wonderful way to increase community awareness of and involvement in college access work. Path to College events are a positive reflection of work happening in your community and inviting the media will shine a spotlight on the work you’re doing through the program. Likewise, social media outlets will allow you to spread the word about your events quickly at no cost.

Volunteer Engagement
Volunteers provide several benefits to your Path to College Events. They can ensure that students sign in to your event, that students and families are directed to the correct locations, and help support students in key tasks like filling out a college application or a FAFSA. In addition to manpower, volunteer involvement provides your students and families with a sense of community support that is a key ingredient to a thriving college-going culture. When students see a volunteer from a local business or higher education institution who is taking time from their day to help with a Path to College event, it sends a message that the community cares about student success.
