"Students applying for college will have to wait longer for their financial aid packages," NBC Washington reports.

..."This puts millions of students in limbo, the president of the National Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators told NBC News.

'On the very day that schools were expecting FAFSA applicant information, they were instead notified by the U.S. Department of Education that they shouldn’t expect to receive that data until March, at the earliest,' Justin Draeger said in a statement.

'These continued delays, communicated at the last minute, threaten to harm the very students and families that federal student aid is intended to help,' Draeger said."
