  1. Hi folks! My friend Aseel only has a few more hours to pay her fees for the semester so she can take her exams. She needs less than $300 more, and she has a donor willing to match donations to help get her to that goal. Please help my friend in Palestine seek a better future!

  6. Nurse Wendy Brindley Hines, a longtime Trump supporter with a Master’s degree, has spoken out against the White House's recent omission of nursing and other health care professions from the list of approved "professional" degree programs. This change, part of the administration’s reclassification under the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act," could affect nurses’ and health workers’ eligibility for student aid and debt programs—potentially impacting those with significant student debt, including herself. Hines urged the Trump administration to reconsider, emphasizing the critical role of health professionals in caring for the nation and questioning the long-term consequences of excluding vital healthcare fields from such classifications. Will this push lead to policy revisions that support healthcare workers’ educational needs?

  7. Hey folks, Joy, who we’re running Gaza Verified with together, is looking for information on organisations in the EU and beyond that are helping writers and students with scholarships, visas, and evacuations.

    Words can’t express my admiration for Joy. She’s in the crosshairs of Israel’s genocide with her own family and yet she’s still finding time to help others.

    If you can help her, please do.

    Thank you.

  13. Since those talks started, the Depts of #Education & #HHS both opened challenges to the #university’s #accreditation, which could someday jeopardize the ability of Harvard #students to receive federal #StudentAid. And #ICE has served subpoenas to Harvard w/sprawling demands that included payroll records, years of disciplinary files & any videos #Harvard had of #InternationalStudents protesting on campus since 2020.

  15. Elon has now taken the department of education

    Approximately 20 members of Elon Musk’s staff have begun working within the Education Department. They have gained access to multiple sensitive internal systems, including a financial aid dataset containing the personal information of millions of students enrolled in the federal student aid program.

  16. And roughly 20 people w/ #ElonMusk’s “Department of Government Efficiency,” known as #DOGE, have begun working inside the #Education Dept, looking to cut spending & staff….

  17. As the soft launch of 2024-25 FAFSA® form is underway, the form is available for short periods of time to ensure a better experience for students and families.

    We will not share information submitted during this soft launch period with schools, states and scholarship organizations until the end of the month.

    Applicants will have ample time to fill out the 2024-25 FAFSA and should not rush to complete the form immediately. If you visit the site during a planned pause, check back later to access the form. 

    Visit StudentAid.gov for more information on what to expect during the soft launch.

  18. Research and advocacy for a simplified FAFSA becomes reality

    Early in her career, Professor Susan Dynarski set her sights on simplifying the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (#FAFSA), a form any student must file to receive a federal loan or Pell grant.

    She and colleague Judith Scott-Clayton first quantified the unnecessary complexity of the FAFSA in a 2006 paper. They found that if you asked just four questions—including one on income and another on family structure—the answers could explain 90 percent of the variation in financial aid eligibility.

    “Literally the thing that had the greatest impact was showing that there were more questions in the FAFSA than in the 1040 Tax form,” said Dynarski in a 2018 interviewl.

    Since 2006, Dynarski has revisited the research, written opinion articles, and testified before Congress about her findings.

    Lamar Alexander, the now-retired Republican U.S. Senator from Tennessee, and former U.S. Secretary of Education took notice. Citing Dynarski’s research, Alexander made the case “to reduce the federal financial aid application to a form the size of a postcard.” He introduced a bill and then continued to push for legislation in the following years to simplify the form.

    In the end, the FAFSA will be a bit longer than Dynarski or Alexander’s ideal, but it will still be shortened significantly.

    Starting in 2023, the FAFSA will include just 33 questions from the original 108, and applicants will also be able to directly transfer tax information from the IRS.
