May 1 Is Usually College Decision Day, but FAFSA Problems Are Causing Delays

"May 1, known as college decision day across the country, is usually a celebratory time for high school seniors. But this year, many students are stuck in limbo as they wait for delayed financial aid award letters – and have yet to decide where to enroll this fall," CNN reports.

..."Still, there are many families waiting for financial aid award letters.

As of April 23, only about half of colleges had sent aid packages to some or all students, according to the National Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators."
