FAFSA Deadline Extended

THE TENNESSEE HIGHER EDUCATION COMMISSION (THEC) RECENTLY ANNOUNCED THE FREE APPLICATION FOR FEDERAL STUDENT AID OR FAFSA DEADLINE FOR THE TENNESSEE PROMISE SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM WILL BE EXTENDED TO FRIDAY, MAY 31ST. THE NEW DEADLINE PROVIDES HIGH SCHOOL SENIORS AND THEIR FAMILIES ADDITIONAL TIME TO COMPLETE THEIR FAFSA AND REMAIN ELIGIBLE FOR THE STATE’S TUITION-FREE HIGHER EDUCATION PROGRAM. THE DECISION TO EXTEND THE DEADLINE COMES AMID ONGOING CHALLENGES FACED BY STUDENTS AND FAMILIES NAVIGATING THE COLLEGE APPLICATION PROCESS AND EXPERIENCING DIFFICULTIES DUE TO THE FEDERAL IMPLEMENTATION OF THE NEW FAFSA.
