The H.R.1 Act & Graduate PLUS Loans Update
The H.R.1 Act & Graduate PLUS Loans Update: The H.R.1 Act (Sec. 81001) that was signed
into law on July 4, 2025, eliminates the Graduate PLUS loan program for new Graduate PLUS borrowers starting with the 2026 - 2027 financial aid year.
Current Graduate PLUS borrowers (2025 – 2026 academic year) may continue to borrow
for three years or until their program of study is complete, whichever occurs first.
