Anyone who has had to fill out a FAFSA form understands the feeling
of dread, anxiety, frustration, and all the other things that go with filling
out that long form.
When I read this article today, I was a little shocked and
hoped it was not true because students have enough to worry about as it is.
“Using FAFSA Against
Students”
“Some colleges are denying admission and perhaps reducing
financial aid to students based on a single, non-financial, non-academic
question that students submit to the federal government on their applications
for student aid”.
“Millions of high school students and their parents probably have
no idea this happens after they fill out the ubiquitous Free Application for
Federal Student Aid. The form, known as the FAFSA, is used by nearly every
American who needs help paying for college”.
“It turns out students’ pleas for help are now being
systematically used against them by some colleges”.
