Sequoyah High School Earns FAFSA Champion Status

Schools across the state compete in the Tennessee FAFSA Challenge to increase FAFSA completion numbers

NASHVILLE, TN – The Tennessee Higher Education Commission and the Tennessee Student Assistance Corporation are celebrating Sequoyah High School as a FAFSA Champion for the 2021-2022 academic year.

This designation is awarded to schools whose Tennessee Promise FAFSA completion rate increased by 5+% over the previous year, or those whose Tennessee Promise FAFSA completion rate exceeds 95%.
“Completing a FAFSA opens the door for thousands of dollars in state and federal financial aid for Tennessee’s students," said Dr. Emily House, executive director of THEC and TSAC. "Our goal is that every eligible Tennessee high school senior has the opportunity to make plans for college and succeed, and completing a FAFSA is a critical first step, especially before the Tennessee Promise deadline."

Sequoyah High Schools’ commitment to college access emphasizes the importance of college and career exploration and educates students and families about the financial aid opportunities available to them.
