Colleges finally begin receiving financial aid data from Education Department after months of delays
Fox News
An overhaul of the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, or FAFSA, was not ready on time. It has caused cascading delays in the college admissions and financial aid processes.
The delay has cut into the time schools usually have to assemble financial aid packages before the typical May 1 deadline for students to commit to a university. Many colleges have extended enrollment deadlines as they wait on the federal government, leaving families across the nation wondering how much financial help they will get with college tuition.
The Free Application for Federal Student Aid overhaul delayed the form's usual rollout from October to late December. The department then soft-launched the new version to address lingering bugs in the system, but many families reported difficulties accessing the form.
