King Jr. participated in an event at SUNY Broome to kick off the opening of applications for the 2027-2028 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).

Why it matters
A report cited in the news indicates that New York State’s high school class of 2024 missed out on nearly $250 million by not completing the FAFSA. The report also noted that 90 percent of high school seniors who complete the form go to college, compared to 55 percent of seniors who do not.
