Washington State Strives for Student Aid Completion: A Year of Progress Under Governor Ferguson In a bid to make higher education more accessible to its residents, Democratic Governor Bob Ferguson has made it a priority since taking office last year to increase the state's completion rate of the federal student aid form. The form, known as the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid), is a crucial step for students seeking financial assistance to fund their college education. By improving the state's FAFSA completion rate, Governor Ferguson aims to bridge the gap between those who are eligible for aid but fail to apply, and those who are able to secure the funding they need to pursue their academic goals. As the state's efforts gain momentum, students and families are likely to benefit from a more streamlined and supportive process.
