TL;DR

The Department of Education is stepping in to assist colleges with the rollout of changes to the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) after delays and processing errors. They plan to deploy experts to under-resourced institutions, provide a $50 million donation to educational nonprofits, and set up a financial aid "concierge service" for schools. Despite ongoing glitches, the department remains confident that all students applying for financial aid will receive the necessary support.
