What it does
The Loan Equity for Advanced Professionals Act would amend the Higher Education Act of 1965 to increase the annual and aggregate loan limits for graduate and professional students under the Federal Direct Unsubsidized Stafford Loan program. Starting July 1, 2026, graduate and professional students could borrow up to $50,000 per academic year and a total of $200,000 in aggregate, in addition to any undergraduate borrowing. The bill aims to provide greater loan equity for advanced degree students by aligning their borrowing limits with the costs of graduate and professional education. It affects graduate and professional students seeking federal financial aid for their studies.
