February 7 2024- The simplified Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) has faced delays and is now available online, but as part of a “soft launch,” it has only been periodically accessible. According to higher education expert Mark Kantrowitz, it’s likely that few, if any, students applying to college for the 2024-25 academic year have successfully submitted an application. Congress mandated that the FAFSA should be available before January 1, 2024, but this deadline was missed, according to Kantrowitz.
