“Mr. Speaker, across our country, students continue to face uncertainty caused by the delays in the Federal Student Aid system. Unfortunately, the Biden administration's botched rollout of the FAFSA program this past school year left students not knowing whether they would receive aid. Some students did not even know their financial aid status until after the start of the school year. Recently, I voted in favor of the FAFSA Deadline Act, which would ensure that FAFSA forms are made available by October 1 of each year, allowing students and their families and their schools the necessary time to complete, process, and receive those applications. These delays impact students, both at flagship universities and at trade schools, leaving the students unsure of how they will afford the tuition in their chosen careers. It is time for the Senate to pass this legislation and give our students and their families the clarity that they need in order to return and resume their education. ____________________”
