BURLINGTON, Vt. (WCAX) – Parents and students on the verge of entering college are struggling to determine where they should go.
The financial aid decisions that usually go out with acceptance letters are being delayed this year because of a later-than-expected rollout of a revised Free Application for Federal Student Aid, the form commonly known as FAFSA that schools use to compute financial aid.

Darren Perron spoke with Scott Giles, the president and CEO of the Vermont Student Assistance Corporation, about what he is hearing from parents and students and what the best approach is in communicating with prospective schools.
