Publish every state FAFSA aid deadline as a calendar you can subscribe to

NCAN estimated the high school class of 2022 left about $3.6 billion in Pell Grants unclaimed by not filing the FAFSA. Much state aid is first-come, first-served, so filing “before the federal deadline” can still mean getting nothing. Build subscribable calendar feeds of every state and major state grant deadline so students and counselors get reminded in time.
