The measure would mandate that high school seniors across the state complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid.
A Pennsylvania state senator proposed legislation that would require high school seniors to complete a Free Application for Federal Student Aid, which determines eligibility for governmental and school financial aid. Doing so could help students realize aid may be available to help pay post-secondary education costs. His bill includes an opt-out provision, said Sen. Scott Martin, R-Lancaster County.

The federal form calculates need based on information families provide about income and assets, plus other factors, like family size. The completion rate for the federal aid application in Pennsylvania is currently 53%, the bill’s sponsors said, and students who complete the form are more likely to enroll in postsecondary programs.
