NEW YORK – Despite the challenges that came with supporting students with college financial aid applications while many schools were operating remotely, the 12 winners of Ed Trust–NY’s 2021 FAFSA Completion Challenge found innovative ways to support students in successfully completing FAFSA applications.

From hosting virtual workshops to scheduling one-on-one Zoom sessions with students and parents, these schools found innovative ways to help students stay on track to complete applications for financial aid, which can be a key factor in whether students from low-income backgrounds have the opportunity to attend college.
