Posillico Quoted in FAFSA Delay Story

Newsday featured comments from Vice President for Enrollment Management Joseph Posillico, Ed.D., in an article about delays with the U.S. Department of Education’s Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).

“[The delay] limits the timeframe for students and families to receive and compare awards from multiple universities…and would provide students with just about a one-month turnaround before the May 1 decision date. I know that New York Tech and others are considering extending the decision date to relieve some of the pressures that families may be feeling,” said Posillico. He also shared that New York Tech has been in communication with parents regarding the delay, and is providing families with sample aid packages that provide families with a sense of the type of aid they might expect.
