Chandler school among winners of annual FAFSA Challenge

Arizona College Prep High School was recognized at a recent ceremony for improvement n its completion rates of the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, or FAFSA, a critical financial aid tool supporting postsecondary education, according to a news release.

Almost 90 Arizona high school seniors and administrators from across gathered at Cox Communications’ Deer Valley Campus to celebrate the completion of the 2024-25 AZ FAFSA Challenge.

It’s a collaboration of the Arizona Board of Regents, Cox Communications and the AZ FAFSA Coalition.
ACP High School laced third n the category “Most improved FAFSA Completion Rate, Large Schools” behind first-place Campo Verde High of Gilbert and runner-up Metro Tech High School of Phoenix.

Thanks to a donation from Cox, 63 students from the winning schools were awarded iPads to aid them on their postsecondary education journeys.

Winning schools also received a signed certificate from Governor Katie Hobbs and Regents Chair Cecilia Mata, and a trophy recognizing their first, second or third place finish in the categories of Highest FAFSA Completion Rate or Most Improved FAFSA Completion Rate.

FAFSA completion directly impacts a student’s access to higher education opportunities, the release states.

First place for “Highest FAFSA Completion Rate, Large Schools” went to San Luis High School, with Campo Verde placing second.
