College Decision Day delayed

May 1 is traditionally known as College Decision Day but some students in our neighborhoods don't know yet where they'll be this fall.

High School Seniors must submit a financial aid application form, known as “FAFSA” in order to qualify for federal loans, grants, and most financial aid...but there were a number of processing problems and glitches with this year's roll out.

After the controversy, the head of FAFSA recently resigned.
