To help institutions understand how the FAFSA timeline shift is changing student and college behaviors, Royall & Company’s research team has been surveying a panel of institutions to track enrollment activities.
This white paper summarizes the finding of our January survey. It follows on the heels of our November Flash Poll, which highlighted that early FAFSA has sped up student filing rates. In this January edition, participants reported applications are up 4% compared to this time last year, and 63% have indicated they had significant FAFSA activity.
