California lawmakers are working on AB 1887 to extend the FAFSA deadline from April 2 to May 2, addressing issues faced by students whose parents aren't citizens. The federal government's FAFSA delays have prompted programs like DC TAG, DC Futures, and Mayor's Scholars in DC to offer tuition support. The Department of Education has introduced fixes for students applying for financial aid through FAFSA without social security numbers. The FAFSA application process has been marred by technical difficulties, prompting community events and workshops to assist students and families. The recent FAFSA glitch fix has allowed college counselors to help immigrant families complete aid applications, with priority deadlines being extended at institutions like ACC District.
