To require institutions of higher education to notify students of the impact of private scholarships and grants on eligibility for institutional financial aid, and for other purposes.
Helping Students Plan for College Act of 2021
This bill requires certain statements related to the impact of nonfederal financial assistance (e.g., private scholarships, grants, and loans) on financial-aid awards from an institution of higher education (IHE).
Specifically, the bill requires an IHE that participates in federal student-aid programs and adjusts its financial-aid awards based on students receiving such other financial assistance to provide enrolled and prospective students with a statement about (1) its policies on adjusting awards, and (2) how receipt of such other financial assistance may impact student eligibility for and the amount of financial-aid awards from the IHE.
The Government Accountability Office must study and report on the relationship between such other financial assistance and eligibility for and the amount of financial-aid awards from IHEs.
