This webinar breaks down the most significant federal student aid restructuring in years under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. We’ll walk through major loan program changes — including the elimination of Graduate PLUS, new borrowing caps, repayment overhaul, and updated Pell and need analysis rules — while clarifying what remains unchanged (PSLF, Pell enrollment status, 90/10, Gainful Employment, and COA fundamentals).
We’ll also examine the policy intent behind the legislation, who is most affected (graduate and professional students, parents, and high-cost programs), key implementation dates, and what financial aid offices should be preparing for operationally.
Key Takeaways for Attendees
- A clear understanding of what changed vs. what did not under OBBBA
