"Congressional Democrats introduced legislation on Tuesday that would cut the basic federal student-aid application form in half by using financial information from income-tax returns.
College-access advocates and members of both political parties have long said that the complicated and slow process of applying for financial aid discourages thousands of low-income students from going to college or from receiving grants and loans. Cutting the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, or Fafsa, would be a move toward simplifying the process."
