Big problem thanks to the DOE making FAFSA more complicated than it should be, per Matt Brown. Article is below, as well as an article about FloSports.

While I completely agree that the "rollout of the “new” FAFSA has been a disaster"

I disagree that they made FAFSA more complicated. My third child is in college and from my perspective, it was less complicated and I was surprised at how much easier it was to fill out.

The delay in availability absolutely screwed up the availability of information and the timing of decision making.

This is a HUGE issue in higher education right now.

Just a small alert - it won’t take much at all for this thread to belong in the Political Forum.

Post carefully, peeps, or a big Bear (not FUBeAR) may come looking for you…

I had to look up what FAFSA is.
It is Free Application Federal Student aid.

and yes. This probably best belongs in the political forum.

The DOE is a failure.
