Students and/or their parents dread filling out the long list of questions to apply/reapply for financial aid from the government every year. Well, the current administration is hoping that'll be a thing of the past.
The government is changing FAFSA questions this January for many reasons (read here for the WSJ article). The two main reasons are to make it easier for families to fill-out the application and to decrease the amount of private students loans being taken out. What strikes me the most from reading the article is that 1.5 million students may be losing out on grant money from the government!
The government and colleges know that it's not easy funding a college education. At least the new administration is attempting to take away some of the stress from the process of getting aid to help fund students' educations.
