About the Newark FAFSA Challenge
The Newark FAFSA Challenge is a citywide effort to encourage more Newark high school seniors to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). For the 2018-2019 academic year, only about 60% of Newark high school seniors completed the FAFSA by June 2019. Our goal for the 2019-2020 academic year is to increase Newark’s FAFSA completion rate to 70% by June 2020. The FAFSA Challenge is co-sponsored by NCLC, the Newark Public Library, and the United Way of Greater Newark. Additional partners will maintain designated hubs in every Newark ward to offer personal assistance to high school seniors and their parents.
