Project 2025 proposes to eliminate the Department of Education.
FAFSA is a part of the DOE. Trump will get rid of FAFSA and they have no detailed plan to replace the mechanism for getting your financial aid. Administrators at your college are unlikely to be able to help you much because they'll have to try to adapt to a stripped-down system that will differ widely from state to state.
I'd love to point this out to someone higher up and get this huge publicity at the convention and galvanize college kids. I'll bet even the most vociferous college protestors would shut the fuck up and vote for Biden if they knew their financial aid would completely tank under a Trump regime, and that even the most disengaged students would register damn quickly.
Is there any chance at all that any politician who has any kind of pull would take a suggestion from someone without six figures attached to their name?
