Problems with the revamped Free Application for Federal Student Aid program – known as FAFSA – are slowing the college enrollment process for high school seniors and college administrators. Zac Lewis is the director of Central Student Services at Eastern Kentucky University. He said most years, EKU begins receiving FAFSA documents in October for the following school year. However, that isn't the case this year.
“They would normally expect a lot of their EKU-specific financial aid information right now. And we just don't have it, and most of that is actually because of the transmission issues that we're experiencing with the federal government, the Department of Education.”
