Fox News: Heartland lawmakers seek to fix 'fundamental' roadblock for farm kids seeking student aid
Bipartisan lawmakers, including Sens. Joni Ernst and Michael Bennet, are proposing the Family Farm and Small Business Exemption Act to amend federal student aid provisions. 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.
