Evidence
U.S. Senators Bill Cassidy and Chuck Grassley introduced the Improving Financial Aid Offers for Students Act, saying it would make the cost of college more transparent and help students and families compare financial aid packages before deciding where to enroll.
Congress.gov shows Grassley as sponsor of S.1557, the Net Price Calculator Improvement Act, with latest action on 05/01/2025: read twice and referred to the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions; the bill status is Introduced.
Assessments
Grassley sponsored or introduced college price transparency legislation in the 119th Congress, including the Improving Financial Aid Offers for Students Act and S.1557, the Net Price Calculator Improvement Act. The evidence shows concrete same-term legislative effort, but both items are described only as introduced or referred to committee, with no enactment or implemented federal reform. Because the promised transparency reforms were not delivered, this is a failed but serious attempt rather than fulfillment.
