According to new data from the National Student Clearinghouse Research Center, first-year enrollment dropped by more than 5% this year, with enrollment by recent high school graduates dropping by more than 6%. Experts have cited the dysfunctional rollout of the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) as a major factor influencing these declining numbers, indicating a strong connection between FAFSA completion and enrollment.
A closer look at the enrollment figures suggests that not all groups are losing confidence at the same rate. For instance, the decline in first-year enrollment by men was steeper than the decline for women, indicating a growing divide in higher education participation.
