Federal Student Aid (FAFSA)
The number of children in college at the same time will no longer affect eligibility for need-based financial aid
• The parent contribution will no longer be divided by number of children in college at the same time
• The income protection allowance will no longer be reduced based on number of children in college at the same time
• Small impact on low-income families with multiple children in college
• Big impact on middle- and high-income families with two or more children enrolled in college at the same time
• Families can appeal for more aid based on having multiple family members in college at the same time
But I don't know whether CSS Profile used by colleges and scholarship programs to award non-federal institutional aid changes or not.
