The purpose of this legislation is to update the Higher Education Act of 1965 to provide equal borrowing limits for graduate and professional students under the Federal Direct Unsubsidized Loan program. The aim is to ensure that these students have access to the same financial resources as their undergraduate counterparts, allowing them to better manage the costs associated with advanced education. Key provisions of the legislation include setting a maximum annual borrowing limit of $50,000 for graduate and professional students starting on July 1, 2026.
