NASFAA Mention: Higher Ed Committee Recommends Changes to FAFSA

"A committee of higher education leaders and faculty from across the U.S. released a list of recommendations to the Department of Education March 13, enumerating ways to help students enroll in, pay for and graduate from college," The Daily Texan reports.  

"Among the three dozen recommendations are measures that would permit students to file one Free Application for Federal Student Aid for multiple years, simplify the FAFSA form and provide more accessible information about financial aid to students.

The Higher Education Committee of 50, actually made up of 47 individuals, was created in 2017 with help from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and the National Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators, which advocates for removing financial barriers to college."
