<p class="xmsonormal" style="background:white"><span style="color:black">As a reminder, the goal of Ability to Benefit (ATB ) is to provide equitable access to federal student aid as is the promise of the ATB rule in the Higher Education Act (HEA).</span><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black"> </span><span style="color:black">
Through ATB, eligible adults who are concurrently completing their high school diploma and a postsecondary program can access federal student aid to pay higher education tuition and living expenses, making it just a little bit easier to be an adult college
student. </span><o:p></o:p></p>
