Student financial aid applicants experience issues with new FAFSA form

Changes to the way students apply for federal financial aid has had an impact on who can apply and when. The new Free Application for Federal Aid (FAFSA) form, which became available December 30, is only available at certain times during the day. The U.S. Department of Education is referring to it as a “soft launch,” while they work to resolve the remaining issues. The long awaited updated has brought lots of questions from families and students trying to navigate the financial aid process. And with the December release, the Maryland Higher Education Commission (MHEC) worked through the holidays to understand the new form to better assist students who will need to fill it out. “We have met with the school systems, we have met with hundreds of nonprofits that help students access these funds, we are already providing them with the information that they need,” said Dr. Sanjay Rai, Acting Secretary for the Maryland Higher Education Commission. MHEC handles over $100 million in financial aid annually, yet not everyone knows about this agency. “We have people that call us and say, I've received an email from you, and it says MHEC. Are you real? And it's amazing, because, yes, we're real,” said Al Dorsett, director of MHEC’s Office of Student Financial Aid. And they’re working to ease the transition to the new FAFSA form, however, it hasn’t been without bumps. The application impacting financial aid for the next school year is only available periodically. And the frustration is apparent on social media. “Let me assure them, to all residents of Maryland, we will do everything to make sure they have access to these funds,” said Dr. Rai. Until functionality is fully available, MHEC is educating students on the changes and what they'll need to apply. https://www.wmar2news.com/matterforma...
