Attend a free in person FAFSA Completion Workshop
Arizona's College Goal FAF$A is a statewide initiative that provides free information and professional assistance to Arizona students and families seeking college financial aid. The Arizona Commission for Postsecondary Education has planned and coordinated the Initiative since 1996. The mission of College Goal FAF$A is to increase the number of first-generation and under-served high school seniors and adults entering postsecondary education.
The goals of College Goal FAF$A are:
- to assist families in filing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and
- to provide accurate and timely communication regarding student financial aid.
The target audience is high school seniors, their families and returning adults. There are two components to the initiative:
- hold events throughout FAFSA season at high school and community sites, and
- year-round distribution of student financial aid information via this website.
