Stop Discriminating Against Families

The FAFSA application was supposed to be easier than ever. However, delay after delay has prevented many families from securing their funding for college in the fall. 

Those impacted the most by the Department of Education’s FAFSA failure include students with green cards and undocumented parents without a Social Security number.

Sign the petition to tell the Department of Education to stop discriminating against families. 

“It also includes a huge swatch of broadly defined middle-income students who have encountered problems with the FAFSA and who, in some cases, had to wait and wait and wait to get one aid offer or to get aid offers from all the colleges they were waiting to hear from so that they could sit down at the kitchen table with mom and dad and try to make and apples-to-apples comparison of their aid offers,” said Eric Hoover, senior writer for the Chronicle of Higher Education. 

“The FAFSA is a key that unlocks college for so many American families,” he added. 

FAFSA needs to work for all Americans, not just the wealthy and upper middle class. Students who come from different backgrounds should not be penalized fory trying to go to college.
