2026-2027 FAFSA and the Obstruction of Educational Opportunity

 The new 2026027 FAFSA application is available to a limited number students as a beta test with release to all in October.

The new "Budget" bill significantly lowers and limits loan amounts to the point where education cannot be fully funded which may eventually create less college applicant competition for children of wealthy families who may not be as academically or intellectually gifted.  

This will be particularly true for medical school applicants.
