Deep dives
Changes to the FAFSA
The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) has undergone significant changes, with the new form being shorter and simpler. While this makes it easier for low-income students to qualify for the Pell Grant, other changes make it harder for middle and high-income students to receive aid. For example, the sibling loophole, which divided the parent contribution by the number of children in college, has been eliminated. Additionally, small businesses and family farms are no longer excluded as assets. However, 529 plans owned by grandparents and other relatives are no longer considered as assets on the FAFSA, which could be beneficial for families with limited income.
