Bill Summary

A bill to establish an earlier application processing cycle for the FAFSA.

AI Summary

This bill, the FAFSA Deadline Act of 2024, aims to establish an earlier application processing cycle for the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Specifically, it amends the Higher Education Act of 1965 to require FAFSA submissions to be made not later than October 1 prior to the applicant's planned year of enrollment, rather than the current deadline of January 1 of the applicant's planned year of enrollment. This change is intended to provide students and their families with more time to complete the FAFSA and access federal financial aid for their postsecondary education.
