Trump Proposes Mass Deportation Including U.S. Citizens

"FAFSA Woes: Colleges Grapple with Financial Aid Delays"

Colleges are facing delays in sending out financial aid offers due to errors and incompletions in the U.S. Education Department's new federal student aid form, FAFSA. Some institutions are considering sending out "provisional" aid offers to meet deadlines, while others are opting for transparency and frequent updates.
