Many College Students Miss Federal Aid as They Do Not Apply
A study from the American Council on Education finds that among 8 million undergraduates at aid-participating institutions in 1999-2000, 8.7 percent did not complete the FAFSA. Of low and moderate income students, 1.7 million failed to apply, with two thirds of community college students missing out. Pell Grants could have benefited about 850,000. The report notes misconceptions about aid and the FAFSA form's complexity as key barriers, while stressing that FAFSA is a gateway to other aid.
