Loss of student aid for assault or rioting convictions.
New rules may cut off federal financial aid for students convicted of assaulting a police officer or participating in a riot. This means affected individuals will not receive grants or student loans, and any grants previously received may be converted into repayable loans.
Key points
Students convicted of assaulting a police officer or rioting will lose eligibility for federal student financial aid.
Previously received federal grants may be converted into loans that must be repaid with interest.
These loans will not qualify for any loan forgiveness, cancellation, or reduction programs.
