just prior to the signing of this
bill, he explained that not only
would the changes made to the
‘Higher Education Act’ make fi
nancial aid more available to
middle income students and stu
dents of middle income families,
but also help “rid fédéral aid
programs of fraud and abuse.”
One target of the bill was to
weed out sham schools and stu
dents who default their loans,
through need analysis and higher
academic standards. This will be
done through what is termed as a
“gatekeep” program which will
ensure that only schools of a high
quality participate. Minimum
standards are set on students en
tering the various financial aid
programs.
The bill will also make lower-
middle income students more
eligible through need analysis by
not taking home or farm equity
into account when looking at a
student’s or family’s assets. In re
moving home and farm value from
need analysis, it is expected that
many who did not previously
qualify for federal aid previously
may be eligible by this summer.
The application process for
those seeking financial aid is
expected to be simplified during
the next year. The amendments
to the Act require the simplifica
tion and standardization of. all
forms used in the financial aid
process. Other changes which will
make the whole application proc
ess, including differences such
as, families eaiming less than
$50,000 a year will be able to use
a shortened need analysis form.
One otherpraise which Bush
mentioned of the bill, in his speech,
is that it will be easier for part
time students who are returning
to the work force to retrain.
“We used to think of educa
tion
like
measles
vaccines...something we only did
when we were young,” said Bush.
“Today, education never ends.”
