California has extended the deadline for students seeking state financial aid to May 2, giving students an extra month to apply due to issues with the updated Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) form. The decision came after problems were raised by Central Coast students and counselors, prompting calls for action from representatives, including Rep. Carbajal, who urged the U.S. Department of Education (@usedgov) to address the issue. The extension aims to provide students with additional time to apply for and secure critical funding necessary for their education amid the FAFSA rollout complications.
