Bill > HR2272

This bill, known as the "Freeze Aid For Student Assaulters Act of 2025" or the "FAFSA Act of 2025", proposes to make certain individuals ineligible for federal financial aid under Title IV of the Higher Education Act. Specifically, the bill would disqualify students who have been convicted of criminal offenses involving assault against a police officer or rioting-related crimes from receiving grants, loans, or work assistance. For students already receiving federal grants at the time of their conviction, those grants would be converted into Federal Direct Unsubsidized Stafford Loans that must be repaid with interest, starting from the original grant award date. Additionally, these converted loans would be ineligible for any loan forgiveness, cancellation, discharge, or reduction programs under existing law. The provisions would take effect beginning with the first award year after the act's enactment, meaning students convicted of the specified offenses would lose their federal financial aid eligibility and potentially be required to repay previously received grants as loans.
