The lack of college price transparency isn't just hurting the public. It's holding colleges and universities back from figuring out how to provide a better value at a better price.
Are we sure that this year's FAFSA faceplant is really the primary reason we are seeing distrust in the public financial aid system bubbling up all across the country? Or maybe it's just exposing a distrust that has been bubbling up for a while now? The conventional wisdom telling consumers to, FIRST, apply to colleges for admission, and SECOND, apply for financial aid to pay for college, plunges many into a black hole of debt, despair, and - even if they enroll in college somewhere - ultimately drop out due because the amount they are being asked to pay is far more than the amount they have to pay. Fix the system. Price needs to be the first thing to solve, not the last thing to duck tape together. https://lnkd.in/gaqXsnnB

🎓 Advocacy in Action: Today, Ben Mitchell (Foundation for Tacoma Students), Fahren Johnson (School’s Out Washington), and Isha Hussein (Seeds of Peace) testified in support of Senate Bill 5904, a pivotal move to extend financial aid program eligibility. 🔍 Understanding SB-5904: The Problem: Students, especially from low- and middle-income backgrounds, face challenges due to inconsistent state and federal financial aid policies. Varied time limits for aid, often shorter than federal standards, can lead to students exhausting their resources prematurely. The Solution: SB-5904 aims to align eligibility timeframes across both state and federal programs, offering a more uniform safety net. This could lead to reduced student loan debt, easier access to basic needs, streamlined graduation paths, and more students completing their degrees or credentials. How It Works: Under SB-5904, eligibility for state programs like the Washington College Grant, College Bound Scholarship, and Passport to Careers will match the federal timeline, extending to 18 full-time academic quarters, in line with the federal Pell Grant. ✨ Kudos to the advocates of SB-5904 for championing a bill that promises to simplify financial aid, diminish confusion, and ensure fairness in educational opportunities. A significant step towards educational equity! #EducationPolicy #WALeg

NEW BLOG | Recent private school closures have led to thousands of Student Tuition Recovery Fund (STRF) claims in California and millions of dollars in payouts. The result is a significant depletion of STRF’s reserve funds, jeopardizing critical protections for CA students. Our blog offers recommendations for CA policymakers to better safeguard STRF. https://buff.ly/3YGX14B

Federal and state investments in student financial aid remain critical for expanding access to postsecondary education and nurturing talents to meet the workforce’s demand. In the recent annual Varying Degrees survey conducted by New America, most Americans (80%) agreed on increasing federal Pell Grants and state need-based grants so that students with the greatest financial need receive more grant-based assistance to enroll in education beyond high school. WAICU’s number one advocacy priority is increasing the state and federal student financial aid, including the Pell Grant and Wisconsin Grant. Sign-up to become a WAICU advocate and support this important cause: https://lnkd.in/g2G2JHCG #WAICU #wiprivatecolleges #GraphoftheMonth #WIGrants

"With an accreditor’s stamp of approval, colleges get access to a pot of more than $106 billion in annual federal Title IV funding—federal loans, grants, and campus-based aid. Clearly, accreditors are not delivering on their charge as they continue to approve institutions with abysmal outcomes where students and taxpayers will see little or no return on investment. It begs the question—when will the watchdogs bite?" We should also ask when other states will follow Texas in stepping up to a challenge that accreditors have ignored. HB 8 is a big step toward aligning higher ed's incentives with the interests of students, communities, employers, and taxpayers. https://lnkd.in/gvfmA5H3
