Making things more challenging were <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/department-of-education-job-cuts\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">the unprecedented cuts<\/a><\/span>\u00a0to the Department of Education last month, impacting nearly half of the office of Federal Student Aid, which is responsible for managing FAFSA.<\/p>\n<p>Garcia, who will be attending Los Angeles Trade Tech Community College in the fall, said he tried to call the Federal Student Aid Information Center for help &#8220;more times than what I can count. At some point I just wanted to stop.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Lina McCormick-Morin, deputy director of the Southern California College Attainment Network \u2014 an education equity group that seeks to help underrepresented students achieve a college education, helps low-income students navigate the FAFSA system. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The process is really grueling,&#8221; McCormick-Morin said. &#8220;It is genuinely like filing taxes and being audited at the same time.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Thursday is National College Decision Day, which is the deadline for when most college-bound students have to declare which school they will attend in the fall.<\/p>\n<p>McCormick-Morin has seen college dreams put on hold, as only 58% of eligible California high school seniors successfully submitted FAFSA applications for the upcoming school year, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/castudentaid\/posts\/pfbid02qy8FAQZ9t3KtLpYDc1KFmYczFAzEAfJW3pNQeeGWADwK4dPv3Mp6SYB8YUf8fotcl\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">according to<\/a> the California Student Aid Commission.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It is difficult to see what is efficient about cutting the working capacity of any department that was already understaffed,&#8221; McCormick-Morin said. <\/p>\n<p>University of Southern California junior Stephani Jaramillo and California State University, Northridge junior Jose Pablo-Corona told CBS News they don&#8217;t have safety nets \u2014 they only have FAFSA.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p> &#8220;I worry that without that help, I won&#8217;t be able to continue my education,&#8221; Pablo-Corona said. &#8220;So I&#8217;m pretty worried.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p> Jaramillo said that &#8220;for me, financial aid is hope, it&#8217;s a stepping stone to reaching a potential future that I&#8217;ve been looking forward to my whole life.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Now, both are concerned whether they will see their financial aid in time to complete college.<br \/><strong><br \/><\/strong>&#8220;Everyone chases some sort of American dream,&#8221; Jaramillo said. &#8220;No matter what it looks like, some sort of, like, happiness and stability.
