Spring Has Sprung and March Madness Continues
I am talking about a different kind of March Madness: the FAFSA debacle! Just this week another error was found, further delaying families from receiving their financial aid awards. My recommendation to families is to not commit until you have received the financial aid awards from the colleges applied to. Many colleges are extending the commit date, historically May 1. Check with your schools to see if they are offering extensions. I am happy to walk through any questions you may have in this very unusual year!
