Education Department boosts campaign for FAFSA completion after delays and technical issues. Outreach targets high school seniors and college students, with focus on Arizona, California, Nevada, and Texas. Despite processing 8.3 million forms, completion rate is down 29% from last year. Undocumented parents’ technical difficulties addressed; students can now complete FAFSA without waiting for parental verification. Renewal rates also down, prompting further department action.
