According to Hochul's State of the State Address, the FAFSA maximizes access to financial aid to support postsecondary educational costs, making it an important part of the college application process.
Due to these delays, president of the New York State Financial Aid Administrators Association Patti Donahue is encouraging colleges to extend their decision deadlines to May 1st to "allow students, and their families, adequate time to consider all educational and financial aid options available."
Those students [who do not fill out the FAFSA] miss out on dollars that would have helped them make their way through college. And more than that, there are students who never even chose to come to college because they didn't realize the aid that was available to them.
