The Department of Education (ED) on Monday inched closer to developing a regulatory framework for student loan debt relief as a stakeholder committee kicked off its final negotiated rulemaking session, discussing several updates ED made to the draft regulatory text, including provisions on which subsets of borrowers are eligible for debt forgiveness and what amount of student debt could be forgiven. 

A bipartisan group of 37 senators is warning the Department of Education (ED) that vulnerable student populations could be negatively impacted by the delayed rollout of the 2024-25 FAFSA and is calling on the department to work with the higher education community to ensure the form successfully provides more students with federal student aid.

Sign up today for NASFAA U's upcoming Application Processing course starting February 12. This four-week interactive online course provides an overview of the new 2024-2025 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and the entire application process which includes correctly answering dependency questions, supplying tax and income information, parental information, and how an applicant correctly completes and submits a FAFSA. Seats are limited, so register now to secure your spot in class.

Join NASFAA today, December 12, for a webinar on verification at 2 p.m. ET. This webinar will review the 2024-25 verification data element and documentation requirements resulting from FAFSA simplification changes to the application process. Secure your seat.
