FAFSA
As you might be aware, the new FAFSA is experiencing significant delays. They now have a dedicated page to help students and parents: https://studentaid.gov/announcements-events/fafsa-support/pro-tips
The latest news I got is that FAFSA applications will be sent to colleges around March 1st, and then processed by schools in about two additional weeks. Many colleges have moved their enrollment deadlines because of this; please check with individual schools for information. Note that CSS Profile, required by most private schools and BHS Scholarships, is working as usual.
BHS Scholarships
The Brookline High School Scholarship Committee announces that applications are now available for BHS scholarships for students going to ANY college (including two half-tuition renewable Northeastern University scholarships). Applications are available online on the BHS homepage.

Applications must be completed ASAP. The Scholarship Committee would like parents to know that we use three criteria for choosing award recipients: academics, contributions and activities at BHS, and most importantly, unmet financial need. There are no merit scholarships per se given out through this program. To make fair decisions, the Committee requires that families fill out the CSS Profile financial aid form, available at CollegeBoard.com. Please use code #0424
