"College Board President Jeremy Singer will temporarily join the Department of Education (ED) to lead the 2025-26 launch of the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA)," Best Colleges reports. 

..."ED's announcement also follows uncertainty about the timeline of the 2025-26 FAFSA. The launch of this year's FAFSA form was delayed nearly three months, leading to a dropoff in FAFSA completions.

NCAN and the National Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators (NASFAA) penned a letter on June 10 calling on the department to commit to the traditional FAFSA launch date of Oct. 1. The letter adds that ED typically distributes a paper FAFSA for public comment in February, but has yet to do so for the 2025-26 form."
