What it does
The Professional Degree Access Restoration Act would amend the Higher Education Act of 1965 to reverse reductions in federal loan availability for graduate and professional students that were enacted under Public Law 119–21. Specifically, it would restore annual and aggregate loan limits by modifying Section 455(a) of the Act, including removing certain date-based restrictions and eliminating subparagraph (C) that had limited loan access. The bill affects graduate and professional students seeking federal financial aid by reinstating broader loan eligibility for periods of instruction beginning on or after July 1, 2012.
