"The long-awaited simplified Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) form to request financial help for the 2024-25 year is finally here -- though it may not have seemed like it for millions of Americans over the long New Year's holiday weekend," USA Today reports.

... "With tens of millions of students expected to complete FAFSA but only tens of thousands so far able to do so -- three months later than usual -- '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,' said Justin Draeger, president of nonprofit National Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators."
