TN Promise FAFSA filing deadline February 1

The TN Promise Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) filing deadline isĀ  Saturday, February 1 — the final day for both TN Promise high school and college students to complete the 2020-2021 FAFSA to retain scholarship eligibility.

The FAFSA, a federal application, is the primary financial aid application that any student enrolling in post-secondary must complete to determine state and federal scholarship and grant qualifications.

ā€œtnAchieves strongly encourages all students, regardless of post-secondary plans, to file the FAFSA as soon as possible,ā€ says Amanda Schneider, tnAchieves Senior Director of Communications. ā€œThe FAFSA is directly correlated with increased college enrollment and completion. Completing a FAFSA creates opportunities for students as it allows a student to access federal and state aid.ā€

Tennesseeā€™s college going rate has increased to nearly 63 percent since the implementation of TN Promise and Tennessee has become a national leader in FAFSA completion over the past five years.

ā€œLocal communities continue to come together to assist students in successfully completing FAFSA and enrolling in post-secondary,ā€ says Krissy DeAlejandro, tnAchieves Executive Director.

ā€œSchool counselors, K12 administration, college professionals, state agencies and local non-profits have aligned to offer critical support as students and families begin and complete the financial aid process. This alignment is crucial to ensuring student success and college completion!ā€

For TN Promise eligibility, high school seniors and current TN Promise college students must complete the 2020-2021 FAFSA no later than February 1.Ā  The FAFSA is found at www.fafsa.gov.

For assistance in completing FAFSA, students and families may contact [email protected].
