Executive Summary The U.S. Department of Education’s three-month delay in launching the new FAFSA form and the subsequent lack of continuous access, ambiguities in the form, and data reporting errors have resulted in a significant decline in form completions for 2024.Comparing data from late May 2024 to those from late May 2023, nearly 300,000 fewer high school seniors have completed FAFSAs this year.
