Better FAFSA, Better Future

Jesse had the opportunity to participate in the National College Attainment Network's Better FAFSA Train-the-Trainer Summit last week. The summit focused on the implementation of FAFSA® simplification, which incorporates provisions from the amended Fostering Undergraduate Talent by Unlocking Resources for Education Act (FUTURE Act) and the FAFSA Simplification Act. This marks the first major redesign of the FAFSA system in more than four decades.

Here are some key takeaways from the summit to help you prepare your students and families for the new FAFSA launch in December 2023. Additionally, I'll provide various resources to keep you informed as new information becomes available.
