The Secretary said the technology update will not affect the implementation schedule.
The U.S. Department of Education provided an update on the progress of implementing the 2024-25 Better FAFSA and highlighted its commitment to expanding access to higher education. This update increases Pell Grant eligibility for more than 7 million students under the FAFSA Simplification Act.
“We are … using every tool at our disposal to ensure we achieve the transformative potential of Better FAFSA and make higher education accessible to more of our nation's students,” Secretary Cardona said. “The technical updates we are making today will not impact our implementation schedule and, when combined with other implementation efforts, a better FAFSA for undergraduates will result in a 2024-2025 More students will have access to more Pell Grants in each award year.”
The department plans to work with universities to allocate $50 million in technical assistance to help institutions efficiently process student records. Assistance from the Office of Federal Student Aid and nonprofit organizations is targeted at colleges with lower financial resources, conducting needs assessments and providing customized assistance.
Follow the Lord's guidance and pray with us…
- Secretary Cardona should be cautious in promoting improvements to the FAFSA.
- For Department of Education personnel seeking to support educational institutions with technical assistance.
