You can do the paperwork on-line, but you must be accepted by a institute of higher learning, before you can start the paperwork. This is all coordinated through the fiscal office at your university. Yes, money will go directly to the school in some cases, but not all. My problem with this bill is the government will have total control over every aspect of a person getting an educational loan. One criteria they could use is what school they are going to and that would be detrimental to conservative schools and there are still a few out there.

I concerned whenever the libtards think it’s a good idea....however...in this case, it makes sense that eliminating the banks could save money and if the system is already set up...

If I understand the process...the fafsa starts before many schools even accept the students...then, all the schools in the students’ final list receive the fafsa info and come up with a package for the student - what’s financed by scholarship, other by aid....the student chooses which school to attend and that starts the process rolling. Assuming a student gets no scholarships, the fafsa efc is the same info reported to all the schools - they could apply for aid to one school and students have the right to transfer the loan to another if they don’t enroll there.

I think this is a protection against your concern.
