With OBBBA poised to shift key components of federal aid, financial aid leaders are preparing for impacts that will extend to students campuswide. Potential shifts to loan limits, PLUS/Grad PLUS eligibility, institutional accountability, graduate vs. professional student classifications, Workforce Pell, and loan repayment models could reshape both policy and practice.
Join a panel of experienced financial aid experts as they break down what these anticipated changes could mean for your institution. Our speakers will offer practical insights, planning strategies, and critical considerations to help colleges and universities evaluate operational impact and support informed decision-making.
This timely session will equip campus leaders to understand the potential effects of OBBBA on financial aid administration, institutional operations, and student outcomes and identify proactive steps to stay ahead of evolving federal requirements.
