WASHINGTON — You know the Free Application for Federal Student Aid — better known as the FAFSA — which is a laborious and time-consuming form that students must fill out to get money for college?
Well, there could soon be an app for that.
Under a series of bipartisan higher education bills hammered out Wednesday by the Republican-led House Committee on Education and the Workforce, there’s one — called the Simplifying the Application for Student Aid Act — that requires the FAFSA to be made available on a mobile app.
The bill also requires the online and paper versions of the FAFSA to be consumer tested.
