Loan Equity for Advanced Professionals Act

This bill changes federal student loan limits for graduate and professional students under the Higher Education Act of 1965. Starting July 1, 2026, graduate and professional students could borrow up to $50,000 per academic year in Federal Direct Unsubsidized Stafford loans. Starting the same date, the lifetime total these students could borrow for graduate or professional programs would be $200,000, not counting what they borrowed as undergraduates. The bill sets the same limits for graduate students and professional students.
