2021-2022 Free Application for Federal Student Aid - February 2021

Free Application for Federal Student Aid

CHARLESTON Ƶ Gov. Jim Justice on Tuesday declared a Ƶstate of emergency for educationƵ in West Virginia, allowing high school students to collect state financial aid regardless of the status of their Free Application for Federal Student Aid.

Changes in the FAFSA prompted a late rollout of the new form, pushing it back from October to January. Since then, there have been further processing delays and calculation errors, leaving students and families in limbo when it comes to financial aid.
