FAFSA Act of 2024
HR 8902, the FAFSA Act of 2024, terminates federal student aid eligibility for individuals convicted of assault against police officers or specific riot-related offenses (including inciting, organizing, or participating in riots involving violence). It requires affected individuals to repay any grants received under Title IV of the Higher Education Act, converting those grants into unsubsidized loans that accrue interest from the grant award date. These converted loans are ineligible for any forgiveness, cancellation, or repayment assistance programs under federal law. The bill applies to aid received for programs of study ongoing at the time of the conviction.
