This Initiative was authorized by Congress under section 487A(b) "Regulatory Improvement and Streamlining Experiments" of the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended. Federal Student Aid has compiled the performance data submitted by institutions participating in the experiments. When compared to previous academic years, the results are similar, and schools continue to articulate their support for the Initiative, with benefits accruing to not only the institution but to students and their families as well.
