Recorded April 23, 2026
Beginning in July 2026, graduate and professional students will no longer be able to take out Federal Direct Graduate PLUS loans, parents will face new restrictions on Federal Parent PLUS loans, and borrowers will need to adjust to reduced annual and lifetime loan limits. To help fill the loan gap, nonprofit and state-based higher education finance organizations are partnering with higher education institutions to provide alternative plans for paying for college. This webinar showed how CIC member institutions are working with these organizations and gave the opportunity to share solutions with peers.
