Maintaining focus and keeping grades up has been challenging for many high school students over the past year that they have spent learning virtually due to the pandemic.
High school seniors faced the added challenge of having to prepare for postsecondary education, with filling out the Federal Application for Student Aid (FAFSA) from home a significant part of that.

What is a FAFSA Drive-Up?
Due to school closures and COVID-19 safety considerations for the Class of 2021, Ask Benji partnered with Access ASU and Be A Leader Foundation to plan and co-host community FAFSA Drive-Up events throughout the state. Events are free for students and families and open to the public. COVID-19 precautions are our first priority, supporting students as they transition to a postsecondary or college experience is our goal. Register for an appointment with one of our FAFSA experts, or just show up.
All volunteers and attendees must be masked at all times. We recommend students bringing a charged laptop or tablet, if you have one, and documents to complete the FAFSA, which include:
