The Biden administration on Tuesday officially launched the application for the Saving on A Valuable Education (SAVE) repayment plan, a new income-driven repayment (IDR) plan that the administration said will “make college more affordable and support students and borrowers.”

FAFSA simplification is something that impacts all corners of the institution. We’ve heard and listened that it would be useful to compile communication resources that institutions have built to educate institutional partners, students, and families about FAFSA simplification. If you have email templates, presentation slides, or other materials you have used to inform your colleagues and the public about the changes that come with FAFSA simplification, please submit them to us by August 25, 2023. We will share the submissions a few weeks afterwards. For more knowledge sharing, join our FAFSA Simplification Community to connect more with aid professionals across the country.
