"After a three-month-long delay, students can now submit their applications for federal student aid for college — with a few changes," The Arizona Republic reports.

... "Currently, the FAFSA application is “soft-launched” for periodic use as the Office of Federal Student Aid monitors reported glitches. The National Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators said in a statement released Tuesday that many users aren't able to access the application, let alone submit it."

"'Even by soft-launch standards, this weekend’s rollout was challenging and students, families, and financial aid administrators who have been waiting for this release for months are understandably frustrated,' NASFAA President Justin Draeger said."
