FAFSA issues disrupt this year’s College Decision Day

(CNN)– May 1st is known as College Decision Day, but many students don’t know yet where they’ll be this fall.

These students are stuck in limbo as they wait for delayed financial award letters.

High school seniors must submit a financial aid application form, known as ‘FAFSA’, in order to qualify for federal loans, grants, and most financial aid.

But there were a number of processing problems and glitches with this year’s roll out.

Hundreds of schools had to push back their decision deadlines because of the delays.

Though, some are still forcing students to enroll and pay a deposit without knowing how much college will actually cost them.
