"FAFSA Delays Prompt U.S. to Ease College Requirements, Urging Students to Appeal for More Aid"
TL;DR Summary
The US Education Department is easing requirements for colleges and universities to help them deal with delayed student financial aid information caused by technical glitches with the new federal financial aid application, FAFSA. The department will reduce the proportion of financial aid forms it reviews for potential inaccuracy, suspend new reviews of colleges’ compliance with financial aid rules, and offer flexibility in their applications to renew eligibility for federal financial aid programs. These changes aim to support institutions in processing aid applications and delivering aid packages to students amidst the FAFSA delays.
