GenTX Partnership
Generation Texas Month supports the regional efforts and goals of
the 60x30TX Texas Challenge to Reach Higher, an initiative to increase
college applications, FAFSA completions, and college readiness across
Texas.
Our Goals this year are to have:
• At least 1,200 Texas High Schools accept the challenge and support
GenTX Month with College Application and Financial Aid activities,
events, and outreach
• Every participating HS increase ApplyTexas and FAFSA applicants and
completions by four percentage points (4%) above the prior academic
school year
• Every eligible student (seniors) in Texas complete and submit
the FAFSA or TASFA and an admission application
through ApplyTexas to at least one institution of higher education
