AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill changes federal student loan rules for graduate and professional students at certain schools. Under current law, the authority to make some Federal Direct PLUS loans to these students ends on July 1, 2026, and new loan limits begin on that date. The bill would push both dates back to July 1, 2030 for students enrolled at covered schools. Covered schools are health professions schools or schools offering health professions or nursing programs that are located within 100 miles of a health professional shortage area or an area serving a medically underserved community.
