FAFSA Deadline Act of 2024
This bill changes the federal deadline for submitting the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) from January 1 to October 1 before a student's planned enrollment year. It directly affects students seeking federal financial aid for college by requiring them to submit their FAFSA earlier each year. The key provision amends the Higher Education Act to update the submission date, moving it from January to October. This change aims to provide students with earlier access to aid information.
