The Tennessee Higher Education Commission (THEC) has named 158 high schools as FAFSA Champions for the 2024-25 academic year, recognizing their outstanding work in helping students complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).

Tennessee now ranks #1 in the nation for FAFSA completion, according to the National College Attainment Network (NCAN), marking a major milestone in the state’s ongoing efforts to increase access to higher education.

Tennessee achieved a 75.7% FAFSA completion rate among Tennessee Promise applicants—its highest ever and surpasses the previous record of 75.6% set by the Class of 2020. This achievement not only breaks the state’s own record but also makes Tennessee the national leader in FAFSA completion.
