Families and students will have to wait even longer for financial aid offers from colleges and universities. On Tuesday, the U.S. Department of Education announced yet another delay in the already-turbulent FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) timeline: The department says it won't be sending students' FAFSA data to schools until the first half of March.
This new, four-to-six-week delay puts schools in a difficult bind as colleges can't determine what financial aid students should get until they receive the government's FAFSA data.
