The Department has put up it's own question and answer site here -- I think this mailbag has covered most of these already, but I wanted to put the link up so you can read the official word on the issues.

One thing I did miss: The new bill includes a one-time payment of $500 for moving expenses for certain individuals relocating from "highly rural areas." The bill spells out that the money is available for anyone who lives in a county with less than seven people per square mile, and either:

-- must travel more than 500 miles to attend their college of choice, or

-- must travel by air to attend their college "due to an absence of road or other infrastructure"

Those population density figures are based off the most recent census figures, so if you think you might qualify you can check over at the Census Bureau web site.
