What this bill would do

This bill, known as the "Loan Equity for Advanced Professionals Act," aims to change how graduate and professional students access federal loans. It proposes amendments to the Higher Education Act of 1965. Specifically, it seeks to establish specific annual and aggregate limits for Federal Direct Unsubsidized Stafford loans. These changes are scheduled to begin on July 1, 2026. The goal is to ensure these students have specific limits for their borrowing.
