Fed Up Higher Education Technical Amendments of 2002

H.R. 4866, the Fed Up Higher Education Technical Amendments of 2002, was designed to streamline the administration of federal student aid by removing various regulatory hurdles for students and colleges. The bill would have expanded eligibility for federal financial aid to home-schooled students and certain students attending foreign veterinary schools, while also allowing low-income and minority students to use specific federal grants for law school preparation. Additionally, it sought to simplify the financial aid process by allowing colleges to provide required disclosures and voter registration materials electronically and reducing the amount of grant money students must pay back if they withdraw from classes early.
