"Colleges and universities have to wait more than a month longer for critical financial aid information about millions of students that was supposed to be on hand by late January," USA Today reports.

..."The National Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators balked at the news. In a statement to USA TODAY, NASFAA President Justin Draeger said the Biden administration’s continued delays threaten to harm the same vulnerable students that federal student aid has set out to help. 

'With this last-minute news, our nation’s colleges are once again left scrambling as they determine how best to work within these new timelines to issue aid offers as soon as possible – so the students who can least afford higher education aren’t the ones who ultimately pay the price for these missteps,' he said."
