The Freeze Aid For Student Assaulters Act of 2024 would make individuals ineligible for federal student financial aid if they are convicted of assaulting a police officer or rioting. The bill affects current and future college students who receive federal grants, loans, or work assistance under the Higher Education Act. Under this legislation, any federal grants that ineligible individuals previously received would be converted into loans that must be repaid with interest, and these converted loans would not qualify for any forgiveness, cancellation, or discharge programs. The bill would take effect beginning with the first school year that starts after it becomes law. The legislation does not specify any particular funding amount, as it primarily restricts eligibility rather than appropriating new funds.
