THS Rises FAFSA Challenge

3/4/2022

 
Torrington High School was selected to take part in the Connecticut governor’s FAFSA Challenge - a program whose purpose is to increase FAFSA completion rates of high school seniors across the state of CT by 5%.

THS's goal is to have at least 105 seniors complete the FAFSA - a goal that they have already reached. But the school is hoping to get the FAFSA completion rate back up to the pre-COVID percentage, which is around 65%, or 130 of this year's seniors.

THS received a micro-grant through this program to establish programs to increase FAFSA completion rates and to help encourage seniors to complete their FAFSA.


Why complete the FAFSA??
  • The FAFSA is essential to receive financial aid for colleges, trade schools, and is required for many scholarships.
  • If you’re planning to attend Community College, the FAFSA is required to be eligible for the PACT program (free full time community college for up to three years).
  • It’s free!  So why not?  Even if you’re planning to not attend college or a trade school next year, plans may change, so better to have it done and not need it then to need it and not have it completed.
