This bill amends the Higher Education Act of 1965 to modify provisions concerning the federal TRIO programs (programs designed to identify and provide services for students from disadvantaged backgrounds), including to prohibit the Department of Education (ED) from rejecting an application for student assistance solely because it contains a technical error, unless ED notifies the applicant of the error and the applicant does not correct it by the resubmission deadline.
