"As college decision deadlines approached May 1, students anxiously awaited their financial aid offers after a botched federal student aid rollout left current and prospective students unsure if they could afford college tuition," Alligator.org writes.

Forty-four percent of colleges and universities surveyed by the National Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators reported they still had not sent out financial aid offers, as of late April. However, when May came, many colleges still required students to make commitments to attend, even though they were unaware how much aid they might receive."
