#DoTheFAFSA campaign

As many of our members know, the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) process is now simpler, smoother, and more accessible than before thanks to changes brought about by the FAFSA Simplification Act, ensuring that more students than ever can secure the financial aid they need to pursue their college dreams.

Students are responding to the improvements made in recent years. According to the National College Attainment Network's (NCAN) FAFSA Tracker, completions for the Class of 2025 are running 5% ahead of last year’s pace. But we’re not done yet - we need your help to keep the momentum going!

We invite you to join NCAN’s #DoTheFAFSA campaign and help us finish the year strong. Since it’s inception last year, the campaign has reached millions of students nationwide – especially Pell Grant-eligible young people. By participating, you’ll play a crucial role in reaching this key demographic through trusted voices and digital engagement.

NCAN encourages you to share pre-drafted posts available in this social media toolkit. Content is available in both English and Spanish for Facebook, Instagram, X, TikTok, and LinkedIn. Please also continue to encourage your students to complete the FAFSA, emphasizing that it takes as little as 10 minutes and is easier to fill out than before.
