Why: Each year, our region’s 13 high schools compete to increase the FAFSA completion rate, a critical step for college enrollment and financial aid.
Since 2011, the region’s rate has increased from 48% to 67%, resulting in more than $3.9 million available in financial aid.
A total of $13,000 in cash prizes will be awarded to winning high schools and the overall high school winner will received an additional $1,000.
Join in the recognition of Cathedral City, Desert Mirage, La Familia, Shadow Hills and West Shores high schools for the highest FAFSA application completion rates!
