FAFSA Act of 2025
Financial Aid Ban for Convicted Rioters and Assaulters
Legislative Progress
House
Key Points
- Rep. Pfluger introduced a bill that would ban students from receiving federal financial aid if they are convicted of assaulting a police officer or participating in a riot. This includes people who help organize, promote, or encourage a riot, as well as those who commit violence during one.
- If a student is convicted of these crimes, any federal grants they received for their current school program would be turned into loans. These loans would have to be paid back with interest that starts growing from the date the student first received the money.
- The bill prevents these specific loans from ever being forgiven or canceled. Even if the government creates new programs to erase student debt in the future, people convicted under this law would still have to pay back every dollar of their converted grants and loans.
