Congress Seeks to Streamline College Aid Process
Early Access to Financial Aid: A Boost for College-Bound Students
According to insidehighered, Congress wants the Education Department to release a form that helps students get financial aid for college earlier, by October 1st. This will help students plan and prepare for college better. The current deadline is January 1st, but there were problems with the form and the process to determine who gets aid.
The department is working to fix the issues, but some people are not sure if they can meet the October 1st deadline. Colleges and lawmakers want to make sure students have the information they need to choose the right college for them.
