FAFSA Completion Challenge

The 2025 Idaho FAFSA Challenge highlights and celebrates the exceptional efforts of Idaho
high schools to embolden their seniors to complete this critical form.

FAFSA completion directly impacts a student’s access to higher education opportunities and those
who complete the FAFSA are more likely to enroll in college, persist in their coursework, and successfully obtain a degree.

When is the FAFSA Challenge?

January 15th – April 15th.
