Alabama Possible, a statewide nonprofit that breaks down barriers to prosperity, today announced that 142 schools will receive the Best Hustle Award for successfully improving their rates of early submission of the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) by at least 10 percent from 2024 to 2025.

A couple months into the 2025-26 FAFSA cycle, the Class of 2025 has submitted over 17,000 FAFSAs, meaning close to 29% of Alabama’s seniors are on their way to determining their financial aid eligibility.

As the Class of 2024 prepares for their next steps after high school, these seniors are applying for financial aid to cover the cost of postsecondary education and training.
