                - Federal Student Aid Experimental Sites  - This Initiative—or "experiments,"  as they are frequently called—tests the effectiveness of statutory and  regulatory flexibility for participating institutions disbursing Title IV  student aid. The Department of Education has waived specific statutory or  regulatory requirements at the postsecondary institutions, or consortia of  institutions, approved to participate in the experiments. By contrasting the  results achieved with the flexibilities with results under current regulations,  the Department has data to support changes to regulations and statute. The  outcomes of experiments have the potential to benefit all postsecondary  institutions and the students they serve.
