Since its rollout at the end of December, the 2024-25 Free Application for Federal Student Aid has run into a number of speed bumps. All of which has culminated in delayed financial aid packages for current and incoming college students. To help alleviate some of the issues, ED announced this week it will deploy a "FAFSA College Support Strategy." The department will send resources, including funding and personnel, to college campuses to support financial aid administrators processing incoming FAFSA forms. "Students and families should keep in mind that, although the current circumstances are certainly stressful, everyone applying for financial aid is in the same situation."
