Lets future health care students keep federal loans and avoid new limits longer
This bill would let graduate and professional students in health care programs continue to get federal PLUS loans and avoid new loan limits until July 1, 2030. These changes would apply to students at specific health schools near areas with health professional shortages or medically underserved communities. Without this bill, these loan rules would change on July 1, 2026.
Today, the rules for Federal Direct PLUS loans and loan limits for certain graduate and professional health care students are set to change on July 1, 2026. If this bill becomes law, these changes would be delayed until July 1, 2030. This means students at specific health care schools near underserved areas would have four more years of current loan access and terms.
