This legislation aims to exempt farming and small business assets from the FAFSA calculations, addressing the unique financial situations of agricultural families.
The bill seeks to ensure that students from farming backgrounds are not disadvantaged in securing financial aid for college. Lawmakers argue that the current FAFSA formula misrepresents the economic realities of farming, which often involves illiquid assets that cannot be easily converted to cash for educational expenses.
