Though the department doesn’t have a deadline, officials expect a new form next year. According to Cathy Wilcox, a senior associate director for the UI Office of Student Financial Aid, possible changes include simplifying income questions to include only earnings from work and not assets. Fewer questions and web screens may be a part of the revamped applica- tion. In addition to these variations, the Education Department may work with the IRS to verify income. Greg Cendana, the presi- dent of the United States Student Association — a national organization devot- ed to student issues — said he welcomes the changes. “[We have] been working and advocating for the sim- plifying of the [application] for years, so this is a victory for students,” he said. Cendana not only appreci- ates the tweaks to the finan- cial-aid form in general but also the effect they will have on first-generation students. “The [application] used to be a barrier to students every year,” he said. “So with the changes we believe that students, especially first- generation students, will be more confident and excited about applying for federal financial aid.” UI students are familiar with the daunting process. Though UI senior Gena Shapiro said filling out the application got easier over the years because the pro- gram saves certain informa- tion, she recalled difficulties with the form initially and said changes to make it easi- er would be beneficial. “It’s kind of scary the first time because you don’t know what to do,” she said. Others noted the confusion the form creates in its pres- ent state. Sophomore Greg Buck suggested schools should bet- ter instruct students on how to complete the application. “They’re just kind of like ‘Yeah, this is the form you need to fill out if you want aid,’ ” he said. Fellow sophomore Corey Buit agreed about the confu- sion the form can create. “I’ve seen it,” he said. “It’s more confusing and complicated than I want to deal with.” Jan Knowles, Buit’s moth- er, completed the form for the spring semester and said she realized the benefits new paperwork will create. “The easier it is, the more apt I am to fill it out,” she said.
