Act, implement an early application demonstra-
tion program enabling dependent students to 
complete applications under this subsection in 
their junior year of high school, or in the aca-
demic year that is two years prior to their in-
tended year of enrollment, and to be eligible to 
receive aid under this title and such aid as may 
be available from participants, including State 
financial assistance as provided under section 
415C and other aid provided by participating 
institutions. 
‘‘(B) PURPOSE
AND
OBJECTIVES.—The 
purpose of the demonstration program under 
this paragraph shall be to measure the benefits,
in terms of student aspirations and plans to at-
tend college, and the adverse effects, in terms 
of program costs, integrity, distribution, and 
delivery of aid under this title, of implementing 
an early application system for all dependent 
students that allows dependent students to 
apply for financial aid using information from 
the year prior to the year prior to enrollment. 
Additional objectives associated with implemen-
tation of the demonstration program are the 
following: 
‘‘(i) Measure the feasibility of ena-
bling dependent students to apply for Fed-
eral, State, and institutional financial aid 
in their junior year of high school, using 
information from the year prior to the year 
prior to enrollment, by completing any of 
the application forms under this sub-
section. 
‘‘(ii) Determine the feasibility, bene-
fits, and adverse effects of implementing a 
data match with the Internal Revenue 
Service (IRS). 
‘‘(iii) Identify whether receiving final 
financial aid awards no later than the fall
of the senior year provides students with 
additional time to compete for the limited 
resources available for State and institu-
tional financial aid and positively impacts 
the college aspirations and plans of these 
students. 
‘‘(iv) Measure the impact of using in-
come information from the year prior to 
the year prior to enrollment on—
‘‘(I) eligibility for financial aid 
under this title and for other institu-
tional aid; and 
‘‘(II) the cost of financial aid 
programs under this title. 
‘‘(iv) Effectively evaluate the benefits 
and adverse effects of the demonstration 
program on program costs, integrity, dis-
tribution, and delivery of aid. 
‘‘(C) PARTICIPANTS.—The Secretary shall 
select States and institutions within those 
States to participate in the demonstration pro-
gram under this paragraph that are partici-
pating in the programs under this title and that 
are willing to make final financial aid awards to 
students based on their application information
