Send a pre-written (or your own!) letter to your representatives in support of improving these conditions for Pennsylvania’s international students.

Support PASFAA’S campaign to postpone the Gainful Employment/Financial Value Transparency (GE/FVT) reporting requirement.

The past year has seen numerous challenges with the rollout of the 2024-25 FAFSA. As the school year begins, financial aid offices will need to redirect staff to the reporting deadline for Gainful Employment and Financial Value Transparency instead of working directly with students on their financial aid disbursement. Join PASFAA in asking that the Department of Education postpone the GE/FVT reporting requirement until July 1, 2025.

If you have any questions, please contact our Government Relations Committee Chair Lucia Garabo - [email protected].
