Signed on July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill (often called the "Big Beautiful Bill") introduces significant changes to financial aid, student loans, and college access.

#FinancialAid #StudentLoans #BigBeautifulBill #CollegeAccess

What the “Big Beautiful Bill” Means for Your College Future

Pell Grants provide free money for students whose family income is below a threshold amount. Congress added $10.5 billion to keep the program funded through 2035. The maximum award per student remains $7,395, and eligibility still depends on your family's income and how many credits you take each term.

Starting July 2026, students will be able to use Workforce Pell Grants for short-term job training programs in healthcare, IT, skilled trades, and similar fields. These programs must be offered by accredited schools that are already eligible for federal aid.

By mid-2026, federal repayment options will be narrowed down to two plans. The government will eliminate most income-driven repayment options (like SAVE and PAYE) and replace them with:

A Standard Plan with fixed monthly payments, based on loan size (10–25 years)
A Repayment Assistance Plan (RAP) with payments based on income (1–10%, minimum $10/month). Loans will be forgiven after 30 years.
Key changes:

No more deferment for unemployment
Interest will capitalize annually, meaning it gets added to your balance

Beginning July 1, 2026, the federal cap on Parent PLUS Loans will be:

$20,000 per year, per student
$65,000 total per student

The limit stays fixed even if your parents repay part of the loan while you're still in school. Borrowing before the July 2026 deadline is permitted under current rules, but only for a limited transition period.
