After a long summer of technical glitches, most of America’s prospective college students finally applied for federal financial aid — an annual process upended by a redesign-gone-bad.

The bungled rollout of a new federal student aid form has left millions of students in limbo and some wondering if their college dreams will survive.

Have you filled out a FASFA form?

A new online application designed to make applying for federal student aid easier went live this week, but not everyone has been able to access it.

A Michigan lawmaker is pushing for all high school seniors to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).

Beginning this fall, a new program will allow eligible students to attend Macomb Community College without having to pay tuition.

The Free Application for Federal Student Aid period opens Oct. 1 for the 2023-2024 school year.

The numbers have risen as states and schools have launched campaigns urging students to apply for aid, but they remain down overall from last year. The FAFSA, short for Free Application for Federal Student Aid, is required for students to be eligible for federal Pell grants and student loans. Its also often a requirement for state aid. Separated from their schools, students lost touch with counselors who typically guide them through the complex financial aid process. Although deadlines for some state scholarships have passed, students can still apply for federal aid for the 2020-21 school year through June 2021.
