🌅 Good morning, RootBadger. Tuesday starts with an information-security warning from inside the Federal Reserve, followed by a timely college-aid task.
🗞️ Reuters morning read: The Federal Reserve’s inspector general alerted the central bank on Monday that a departing employee may have removed classified Federal Open Market Committee material and other sensitive information. Reuters reports that the employee had a prior information-security incident involving FOMC information. The watchdog said the episode exposed control breakdowns requiring immediate attention.

🎓 Useful this morning: If college, career school, or graduate school is in the 2027–28 plan, use the next two days to get ready for FAFSA. Federal Student Aid says the new form is coming soon, and its published instructions say applications may be submitted beginning October 1. Check state and school deadlines now—some can start that day, and some aid is limited. You can also create or confirm your StudentAid.gov account and identify any parent or spouse who must contribute information.
