When President Obama announced that FAFSA availability would shift from January 1 to October 1, starting with the 2016-17 admissions cycle, enrollment managers had to decide quickly--and with little information --whether to move up financial aid packaging. Now that the industry has settled into the era of Early FAFSA, EMs are considering whether they made the right moves. This webconference will explore how Early FAFSA has shifted the admissions timeline at many institutions, what institutions can do to take advantage of a longer decision window, and how to mitigate the incumbent risks.
