Political Girl: Dr. Jill Biden hosts FAFSA Workshop


Photo: Paul Wood, Department of Education
Today, Dr. Jill Biden participated in an event with Secretary of Education Arne Duncan to bring awareness to the new streamlined application for FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Aid). Wife of Vice President Joe Biden, she has been an educator for almost 30 years teaching English in Delaware. Since moving to Washington, D.C. she continues to teach several English classes at a local community college.

Here are some of her remarks from the White House Blog...

"As a community college instructor, I feel right at home in the classroom – and so I was thrilled to spend time this morning with local students at DC's Banneker Senior High School to talk with them about their goals of pursuing a college education. It was a great morning - I joined Secretary of Education Arne Duncan and Senator Jack Reed from Rhode Island to showcase the new and more streamlined Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) which is now available to students. know first-hand as a parent and as a former high school and current college instructor just how challenging and overwhelming all of the financial aid forms and paperwork can be - and it was great to see how the current forms have fewer questions, easier navigation and are more user-friendly. I spoke with students at the computer lab who expressed relief to be working on the more user-friendly FAFSA."
