The Alabama State Board of Education voted to add completion of the FAFSA as a high school graduation requirement in the state. The requirement will start with the graduating class of 2022, and it includes an opt-out provision for students and families. Research reveals 92% of students who complete their FAFSA before graduating high school enroll in college the following fall, while only 51% of non-completers do.
