College Financial Aid Applications In Brownsville-East New York Area: Compare To NY

BROWNSVILLE-EAST NEW YORK, NY — Applications for federal college financial aid are notably lower this year, and that could mean fewer freshmen when classes begin this fall.

Prospective college students can fill out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid to qualify for subsidized student loans and other forms of aid. FAFSA applications declined 5.8 percent nationally this year compared with the same time last year. About 1.72 million students completed the application as of June 25, compared with 1.83 million in 2020, according to an Associated Press analysis of FAFSA data.

As of February this year, FAFSA applications were down 10 percent from last year. But the completion rate increased in the spring, when schools could hold more in-school FAFSA help events that were canceled last year because of the pandemic.

A decline in the FAFSA completion rate could be a harbinger of lower enrollment in the fall. The class of 2020 had 3.7 percent fewer FAFSA applications than the class of 2019; postsecondary enrollment dropped 6.8 percent between the class of 2020 and 2019, according to the National College Attainment Network.

In New York, 109,046 FAFSA applications were completed as of June 25, compared with 113,678 completions at the same point last year. That is a 4.1 percent decrease. (See how Brownsville-East New York area high schools compare below.)

The decline is steeper among Title 1 high schools, meaning those where low-income students make up at least 40 percent of enrollment. Title 1 high school completions dropped 8.83 percent, compared with a 3.86 decrease for non-Title 1 schools.

In New York, completed applications dropped 6.9 percent from Title 1 schools, compared with a 1.4 percent drop for non-Title 1 school applications as of June 25.

Here is how schools in the Brownsville-East New York area are doing with FAFSA completion as of June 25. See more Brownsville-East New York area high schools here. Note: Percent changes can be affected by a relatively small difference in completions, especially for smaller schools. FAFSA data only counts students who are no older than 19.
