Higher Education Opportunity Act

There is good news in a bill that was passed by Congress and is anticipated to be signed into law - it is the Higher Education Opportunity Act. This is designed to make college more accessible and the best part (in my opinion) is that it should make the financial aid process easier. And by easier I mean a LOT easier! They are guesstimating that the time to complete the FAFSA is now about 10 hours to complete and that with the new form it should be able to be completed in about 20 minutes! That is quite an improvement! The Columbus Dispatch ran a whole story on this called Changing how college is done.
