About this Event
The Alaska Commission on Postsecondary Education (ACPE), with support from the University of Alaska, is hosting its first Alaska FAFSA Summit on October 26-27, 2023.
The Summit will bring together education stakeholders from secondary and postsecondary institutions, as well as representatives from community organizations/non-profits and Alaska Native Education Foundations to develop strategies to increase FAFSA completion through statewide initiatives and/or policies.
Historically, Alaska has ranked last in the nation for FAFSA completion – a pressing issue that requires immediate attention and, more importantly, long-term solution.
Students who successfully complete the FAFSA gain access to state and institutional financial aid opportunities in addition to federal financial aid, with an increased likelihood of accessing free money. Moreover, research shows that FAFSA completion leads to higher enrollment and persistence rates in postsecondary education and career training.
This is why it is imperative for Alaska’s students to file the FAFSA and do so correctly.
Together we can effect change!
