A large percentage of first-generation students have been impacted by FAFSA challenges
The new rollout of FAFSA went anything but smoothly. Parents and students struggled to access the form. Others had their income reported incorrectly, leading to less aid for students who needed it most.
About 47% of first-generation students weren’t able to complete FAFSA, a Study.com report found. The study surveyed 600 first-generation students to understand how the botched FAFSA rollout affected their education decisions. Of the students who were able to access FAFSA, 28% of them spent more than seven hours trying to fill it out.
