Simplifying the Federal Student Aid ApplicationAt a time when college costs are on the rise, it is critical to ensure that all qualified students participate in the federal student aid program. But for many students and families, the current process for applying for federal college loans is daunting. With over 100 questions, the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) application is excessively long and confusing – presenting a barrier for many students from getting the loans and grants they need in order to get a college degree. Students and families deserve a consumer friendly and efficient college loan application process. H.R. 4137 would make it easier for students and families to apply for federal college aid by:
Streamlining the FAFSA application process.
Providing families with early estimates of college aid packages.
Creating an easier application process for low-income families.
Higher education experts, including the Congressional Advisory Committee on Student Financial
Assistance and The Institute for College Access and Success, have urged Congress to streamline the
FAFSA application process. A Quick Look at the Free Application for Federal Student Aid
