Is there any current or planned legislation to prioritize financial aid based on major?

Emphasizing mathematics, business/economics, sciences, engineering and other similar programs of study that the government may consider critical?Is there any current or planned legislation to prioritize financial aid based on major?
No, but it sounds like you may be eligible for the SMART grant, which is for science and math programs. That includes engineering. I believe that this FAFSA year, the 2010-2011 FAFSA application, is the last year for the SMART grant. You can find out more info on it at the Dept of Ed student info site:
