Twenty million families fill out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid every year, but members of Congress say many others give up because the form is too complicated.
A Republican from Tennessee and a Democrat from Alabama say college isn’t for everyone, but they want to make sure students who want to enroll can afford it.
Texas Congressman Lloyd Doggett, is working on a similar plan.
“So that no student is denied a higher education because of financial barriers,” said Doggett.
The lawmakers hope that Congress will approve the plan by the end of the year.
