But those students are probably not going to get their financial aid packages until after January, maybe even likely March.

So those students who would have typically known by now where they're going to go to college and would have been able to commit now might have to wait until earlier in the spring to make a definite decision and have all the pieces that they need.
voice-verified
Financial aid officers have told me that some families are reaching out and they are working with those families to have a more flexible deadline, especially as it relates to financial aid concerns.
voice-verified
Because for students who apply early decision to a college, it's essentially a locked-in commitment with that school.
voice-verified
And the only ways to get out of that commitment include maybe not being able to afford the tuition.
voice-verified
No.
voice-verified
In select colleges, mainly private colleges, they offer something called the CSS profile.
voice-verified
That's an alternative to the FAFSA.
voice-verified
It's a bit longer and clunkier, but it asks similar questions to get a sense of the full picture of financial need that a family might have.
voice-verified
So there's been no updates to the CSS profile.
voice-verified
So students that are applying to those schools should have a similar timeline as in previous years.
voice-verified
Majority of schools, public schools, and private schools in some respects are using the FAFSA to grant institutional aid.

I spoke with Monique Cespedes, who is a mother in North Carolina, and she was on the phone with FAFSA for about 45 minutes, half of that time being on hold, just trying to get some answers about how she should navigate the form.
voice-verified
She's never completed the form before.
voice-verified
Her daughter is a first-generation college student, so she's really been stressed out during this time.
voice-verified
Like we discussed, there have been a lot of changes that have been made to this form, namely the formula that calculates aid.
voice-verified
So for a lot of families, the financial aid that they were used to receiving in previous years might look different in the following years.
voice-verified
One of the changes that the education department forgot was to account for inflation.
voice-verified
It was something that the National Association of Students' Financial Aid Administrators flagged back in October.
voice-verified
But the released form this month and late last month does not include those changes.
