"College-bound students applying for financial aid this year will have to wait until December to start the process, after the Education Department said it would delay the release of the FAFSA following last year's bungled rollout," Money reports.

..."Industry experts reiterated that point after the department announced its plans for the upcoming school year. 'The fact that we are still, to this day, dealing with the aftershocks of this year’s FAFSA rollout shows just how imperative it is that the process is thoroughly tested from end to end and launched as a system, not in a piecemeal manner,' Beth Maglione, interim president of the National Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators, said in a statement."
