Higher Education Technical Amendments Act of 2003

The Higher Education Technical Amendments Act of 2003 proposes several administrative changes to the Higher Education Act of 1965 to streamline student aid and institutional requirements. Key provisions include expanding federal student aid eligibility to home-schooled students, easing the grant application process for Hispanic-Serving Institutions, and allowing students at certain foreign veterinary schools to access federal loans. Additionally, the bill reduces the amount of grant money students must repay if they withdraw from school and removes the requirement that certain loan forbearance agreements be in writing, provided the lender notifies the borrower of the terms.
