SUMMARY: Students nationwide will face delays in the FAFSA process due to a revamped form that caused complications last year. RJ Harrison reports that while the aim was to simplify financial aid applications, issues like calculation errors and website bugs have hindered progress. The form’s release was postponed from October 1 to December 1, and a test version was shared with select families earlier this month. Officials at Jones College emphasize the importance of outreach to local high schools for information sharing, while the Department of Education offers new resources and support for families navigating the application. Students experiencing issues should reach out for assistance.
