Thomas J. Botzman, president of Misericordia University (PA). writes: As part of the HEA revision, the National Association for Independent Colleges and Universities (NAICU) has proposed allowing students to receive their typical federal aid, or perhaps even the aid and a $300 bonus during their first two years in school. During their junior and senior years of study, however, the federal government would double the Pell Grant and the college or university would be required to match the extra federal funds.
