Chamber Announces Winners for SXSW and Rodeo Austin FAFSA Contests

Posted on 03/11/2017 by Greater Austin Chamber of Commerce

Thanks to the generosity of Rodeo Austin and SXSW, and the hard work of our partner school districts, we are happy to announce the winners of two FAFSA completion and promotion contests!

Rodeo Austin has donated 15 Fairgrounds passes and carnival ride wristbands. Student leaders from our partner high schools were asked to promote FAFSA completion events on social media and get the word out to their classmates. We had excellent participation, and the winners of the Rodeo Austin drawing are Akins High School, Cedar Park High School, and Ann Richards High School. Congrats to the Rodeo Austin contest winners!

SXSW Festival has donated 20 one day passes for the winning student leader and several SXSW Music Festival badges for the counselors at the winning high school. Hutto High School won the drawing thanks to their excellent promotion of FAFSA completion and FAFSA completion events on social media.

We want to thank Rodeo Austin and SXSW for their generosity and dedication to our students and all of our school partners for their hard work towards helping families afford college. Stay tuned later this month for the winners of the Alamo Drafthouse VIP screening and scholarship contests!
