Nearly 90 high school seniors and administrators from across Arizona gathered at Cox Communications’ Deer Valley Campus to celebrate the completion of the 2024-2025 AZ FAFSA Challenge. A collaboration of the Arizona Board of Regents, Cox Communications, and the AZ FAFSA Coalition, the luncheon celebrated the exceptional efforts of Arizona high schools to improve completion rates of the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), a critical financial aid tool supporting postsecondary education. 

Thanks to a generous donation from Cox, 63 students from the winning schools were awarded iPads to aid them on their postsecondary education journeys. Full release here.
