President Donald Trump’s Department of Education is working to restore the student aid FAFSA form after the Biden administration made what should be a couple-minute long process into a days-long one.
As a part of the rehabilitation effort, Secretary of Education Linda McMahon attended a FAFSA beta-testing event iin Florida, which marks “the earliest successful test launch of the FAFSA form in history,” a U.S. Department of Education news release said.
FAFSA stands for Free Application for Federal Student Aid. It must be completed by students to secure federal student aid, according to the Department of Education.
The department told The Center Square that families completed the FAFSA form at the testing event in a matter of minutes, whereas last year under the Biden administration it took up to three days to finish.
“One year ago, not a single family had completed the FAFSA form,” the Education Department told The Center Square. This year, however, “nearly a thousand Florida families … complete[d] the form,” in one night.
