6.4: Objective 6.4

Modernize the Federal Student Assistance programs and reduce their high-risk status

Other Information:

While Federal Student Assistance has made some progress in recent years in modernizing its systems, it remains on the General Accounting Office’s high-risk program list. It is also the only Department program identified for corrective action by the President’s Management Agenda. The Department, in partnership with FSA, will continue to improve and integrate its financial and management information systems to manage the student aid programs effectively. We will reduce the programs’ vulnerability to fraud, waste, error and mismanagement.
