Freeze Aid For Student Assaulters Act of 2025 or the FAFSA Act of 2025
This bill prohibits an individual who is convicted of a criminal offense of assault against a police officer or rioting (e.g., inciting a riot or participating in a riot) from receiving student federal financial assistance.
Specifically, an individual who is convicted of such an offense shall not be eligible to receive any grant, loan, or work assistance under Title IV of the Higher Education Act of 1965 (HEA). (Title IV financial assistance is the largest source of federal aid to postsecondary students.)
Additionally, any grant previously awarded to such an individual must be treated as a Federal Direct Unsubsidized Stafford Loan that is subject to repayment. Further, interest shall accrue on the converted loan from the date of the original grant award. Converted loans may not be eligible for any loan forgiveness, cancellation, discharge, or reduction programs under the HEA, any other provision of law, or any administrative action or program.
Includes amendment, cloture, and procedural votes. Each is labeled with its exact question; only a passage question is a vote to pass the bill.
No recorded roll calls on this bill in coverage.
Referred to the House Committee on Education and Workforce.
