Overview
The PARITY Act seeks to eliminate the ‘90/10 rule’ which currently restricts the amount of federal financial aid proprietary schools can receive. This rule requires these schools to receive no more than 90% of their revenue from federal student aid. By repealing specific sections of the Higher Education Act, the bill aims to provide greater flexibility and funding opportunities for these institutions. The goal is to increase access to higher education by potentially allowing more schools to participate in federal aid programs.
