WHAT: The ×îÐÂÂ鶹Ãâ·Ñ¿´ and College Ready AZ are teaming up with the ×îÐÂÂ鶹Ãâ·Ñ¿´Diamondbacks to bring college access resources and guidance on completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) during College Readiness Day at Chase Field on Saturday, June 28th, as the ×îÐÂÂ鶹Ãâ·Ñ¿´Diamondbacks take on the Miami Marlins. Standard admission prices apply.

Fans, families and students attending the game will have the opportunity to stop by the College Ready AZ booth on the main concourse (outside sections 129 and 130) to receive information and guidance on financial aid, admissions and education planning, including:   

• How to access free, one-on-one FAFSA assistance.
• Learn about college planning resources for students and families.
• Ask questions about financial aid, scholarships and admission to Arizona’s public universities.
• Pick up free College Ready AZ swag.

This outreach effort is part of a statewide push to increase FAFSA completion and college enrollment rates across Arizona. As part of the partnership between the board, College Ready AZ and the Diamondbacks, the first 1,000 Class of 2025 ×îÐÂÂ鶹Ãâ·Ñ¿´high school seniors or graduates who submit the 2025-26 FAFSA form can also receive two free tickets to an upcoming Diamondbacks regular season game. To qualify, students must complete their FAFSA between May 23 and June 30 and meet all promotion guidelines. Students can enter to redeem their ticket vouchers at . 

With FAFSA deadlines approaching and many families still navigating the new form, this event offers a timely and accessible way to get expert help in a family friendly setting.
