H. Res. 1353

                In the House of Representatives, U. S.,

                                                          May 25, 2010.
Whereas education is the key to a successful future for many people in the 
        United States;
Whereas the ability of some students to attend an institution of higher 
        education is conditional on the availability of student financial 
        assistance;
Whereas the cost of higher education continues to rise for 4-year private 
        colleges and universities, 4-year public colleges and universities, 2-
        year community colleges, and for profit institutions;
Whereas students and families across the United States are making important 
        decisions about financing their education at an institution of higher 
        education;
Whereas efforts to increase awareness about student financial aid options are 
        necessary for students across the United States to receive all of the 
        financial aid available to them;
Whereas increasing awareness about the Free Application for Federal Student Aid 
        (FAFSA) ensures that more eligible students may benefit from Federal 
        financial assistance;
Whereas students must complete and submit a new FAFSA each school year to be 
        considered for all forms of Federal financial aid;
Whereas each year, about 16,000,000 students apply for financial aid by filling 
        out the FAFSA;
Whereas increasing access to Federal financial aid helps reduce students' 
        reliance on costly private loans; and
Whereas Student Financial Aid Awareness Month will help call attention to the 
        critical role financial assistance plays in helping students attending 
        an institution of higher education: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
            (1) supports the goals and ideals of Student Financial Aid Awareness 
        Month;
            (2) encourages students and families across the United States to 
        participate in activities being offered during Student Financial Aid 
        Awareness Month; and
            (3) recognizes the importance of educating students and families 
        about Federal student financial aid.
            Attest:

                                                                          Clerk.
