"The Department of Education’s botched financial aid application rollout still has some students waiting for information as the semester quickly approaches," The College Fix reports.

... "Jill Desjean, director of policy analysis for the National Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators, told The Fix about the real-life consequences of the FAFSA problems."

"'For some students, the FAFSA glitches this year may have been just a headache, but for countless others, they may result in a dream entirely derailed as some students forgo pursuing a postsecondary education entirely,' Desjean said in a recent email."

"Desjean told The Fix it is just a few weeks before classes begin, and bills are due, yet some students 'don’t have a clear answer on how much financial aid they’ll receive.'"
