Professional Degree Access Restoration Act

This bill would change the Higher Education Act of 1965 to undo the cuts to federal loans for graduate and professional students that were made by Public Law 119-21 in 2025. It would remove the June 30, 2026 end date on Federal Direct PLUS loan eligibility for graduate and professional students. It would also strike the sections of law added in 2025 that set new annual and total loan limits for these students and that ended the PLUS loan option for them.
