Exclusive: The Education Department says it will fix its $1.8 billion FAFSA mistake

Families have a lot of questions right now about how much help they'll get paying for college — questions that financial aid offices can't yet answer.

That's because this year's Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is months behind schedule. And to make things really complicated, it includes a mistake that would have cost students $1.8 billion in federal student aid.

We covered the mistake in detail here. In a nutshell: The U.S. Education Department's FAFSA math, for deciding how much aid a student should get, is wrong.

In practice, this mistake would make some students and families appear to have more income than they really do, and that means they would get less aid than they should. And not just federal financial aid but also all sorts of state and school-based aid.

Taking a pass on college? California apprenticeships offer another path

What should I do if college isn’t for me? We tackle that question in this installment of our ‘Ask CJN’ column, in which student journalists answer readers’ questions about California higher education. One option for those eschewing college: apprenticeships, which often offer a living wage and a guaranteed job upon completion.

Launched in 2018, the SoLa College Scholarship Fund aims to fundamentally transform access to higher education in South Los Angeles. We are not a traditional scholarship based on GPA or sports ability; this is a community oriented scholarship based on personal drive and commitment to making an impact.

The fund has awarded over $1M to our growing community of 135 SoLa Scholars attending and graduating from colleges and universities all around the country with one thing connecting them all - their commitment to seeing the people and communities of South LA grow and thrive.

Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech, delivered during the March on Washington in 1963, was to advocate for civil and economic rights for African Americans and to call for an end to racism and segregation in the United States. King envisioned a future where individuals would be judged by their character rather than the color of their skin, promoting equality and justice for all. The speech became a powerful symbol of the American civil rights movement.
