Abstract:
Although Congress has yet to reauthorize the Higher Education Act, the fiscal year 2006 federal budget—enacted in February 2006—included several higher education provisions that will provide additional financial aid to low-income working adults and other non-traditional students. This fact sheet examines those provisions and what they likely mean for low-income families and students.
