Federal Student Aid an Office of the U.S. Department of Education’s Post

🚨 PSA (courtesy of Fred Amrein) for parents of college students relying on FAFSA- you're going to see a delay. 😔 On January 30, 2024, the Department of Education (DOE) announced that colleges will receive the students’ FAFSA information in mid-March. The last DOE update stated that colleges would receive the students’ FAFSA data by the end of January. As a result, these FAFSA problems will delay financial award letters and possibly some admission letters. A statement from the President of the National Association of Financial Aid Administrator, Justin Draeger, puts it into perspective. "On the very day that schools were expecting FAFSA applicant information, they were instead notified by the U.S. Department of Education that they shouldn’t expect to receive that data until March, at the earliest. These continued delays, communicated at the last minute, threaten to harm the very students and families that federal student aid is intended to help. #collegeplanning #fafsa #departmentofeducation #financialplanning

Louisiana was the first state to mandate FAFSA completion among high school graduates, and it has also become the first state to repeal its mandate, a decision that many, like this columnist, disapprove of. #GreatCollegeAdvice #FAFSAMandates #HighSchool
