FWISD LAUNCHES #STARTHEREGOANYWHERE TO BOOST FAFSA COMPLETION RATES

The Fort Worth ISD will launch a series of initiatives this month encouraging graduating seniors to complete the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid).


On Monday October 15, the District launches its FAFSA campaign, #StartHereGoAnywhere. From October through April, students who apply for FAFSA will receive a T-shirt and be entered into monthly drawings for prizes. The school with the highest percentage of students completing FAFSA monthly will receive a banner to display outside its campus.


In June FWISD was named among 25 U.S. education institutions and organizations selected to receive a grant up to $40,000 for boosting FAFSA completion rates by 5 percent the 2018-2019 school year. District officials have a goal to increase completion rates among students by 6 percent, Dr. Perry said.


“Some people may say, ‘well I don’t qualify,” said Dr. Anita Perry, academic advisement director. “You don’t know until you apply. Start here and you can get anywhere.
