Removing Barriers and Expanding Opportunity: NASFAA Higher Education Act Reauthorization Priorities
National Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators
The last comprehensive reauthorization of the Higher Education Act (HEA) occurred in 2008, and the law has been overdue for another reauthorization for nearly a decade. The National Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators (NASFAA) has worked on reauthorization for nearly a decade. In this report, NASFAA updates its recommendations to modernize the HEA to meet the needs of today's students and institutions. These refreshed recommendations reflect the ever-changing postsecondary landscape. This document provides an overview of NASFAA's top HEA policy priorities including: (1) Strengthening Need-Based Aid; (2) Improve and Simplify the Federal Financial Aid Application Process & Enhance Student Aid Delivery; (3) Promoting Opportunity Through Education; (4) Curbing Excessive Student Indebtedness; (5) Reforming Student Loan Repayment; and (6) Improving Information for Students and Families.
