From the first day to the last. 7th grade is a wrap. It’s hard to believe she’ll be an 8th grader!

Sobering post from @katharinemeyer at @BrookingsEd: "The impact of the FAFSA rollout is clear. Fewer students will enroll in college in the fall of 2024. Just how many fewer remains to be seen" https://t.co/StxmcPkqoK

Students cannot be expected to decide whether or where to enroll in college without understanding how much it will cost to attend.

FAFSA completion rates are trailing so far behind last year that we could be on track for the largest enrollment dive since the pandemic -- one that would mainly affect low-income students of color. My story on the urgency of the completion crisis: https://t.co/GRGVqum1PI

The number of students who filled out the federal aid form is down nearly 30 percent. The ramifications for access and enrollment could be devastating.
