The FAFSA Simplification Act reinstates access to Pell Grants for otherwise eligible incarcerated students. This now includes a broader set of students—those in prisons, jails, and juvenile and civil commitment settings. Students must be enrolled in or accepted to a qualifying prison education program.  The FAFSA will no longer require applicants to provide information about drug-related convictions. A number of other provisions make it easier for all prospective students to apply for financial aid. The law allows financial aid administrators to make adjustments on a case-by-case basis for students with special or unusual circumstances, making it easier for incarcerated students and students with incarcerated parents to accurately document their circumstances and qualify for financial aid. The law also increases the maximum Pell Grant for the 2021–2022 award year by $150, with a new maximum of $6,495.
