WASHINGTON – Iowa Sens. Chuck Grassley and Joni Ernst today published an FAQ-style factsheet on the new Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Students and families can use the one-pager as an additional resource as they navigate FAFSA changes and resulting delays.
“Prospective college students and their families ought to have ready access to their financial aid offerings. But this year's FAFSA launch has created more headaches than it’s helped,” Grassley said. “Senator Ernst and I will continue working with the Department of Education to iron out wrinkles in the new FAFSA, so that when the time comes for young Iowans to choose their college, they’ll have the financial information they need.”
“Instead of helping families know the true cost of college, Biden’s Department of Education wasted time on socialist schemes and taxpayer-funded handouts,” Ernst said. “To help bring certainty, Senator Grassley and I are pushing the Biden administration to fix their FAFSA fiasco and ensure Iowans don’t have to sell the farm to afford college. We’ll always stand up for Iowa students, their families and their futures.”
