Student Assistance General Provisions, Federal Perkins Loan Program, Federal Work-Study Programs, Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant Program, Federal Family Education Loan Programs, William D. Ford Federal Direct Loan Program, and Federal Pell Grant Program

The Secretary amends the regulations governing the student financial assistance programs authorized under title IV of the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended (title IV, HEA programs). These programs include the campus-based programs (Federal Perkins Loan, Federal Work-Study (FWS), and Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (FSEOG) programs), the Federal Family Education Loan (FFEL) programs, the William D. Ford Federal Direct Loan (Direct Loan) programs, the Federal Pell Grant Program, and the State Student Incentive Grant (SSIG) program. These amendments, which eliminate unnecessary regulations and improve the existing regulations, are part of a planned series of regulatory reform and relief measures for the title IV, HEA programs. The Secretary is making these changes in response to the President's Regulatory Reform Initiative. The title IV, HEA programs support the National Education Goals by enhancing opportunities for postsecondary education. The National Education Goals call for increasing the rate at which students graduate from high school and pursue high quality postsecondary education, and for supporting life-long learning.
