'The Department recently informed NASFAA that it will not be able to support the conference to the extent previously communicated,' the association said in an email to its members just two weeks before the conference is slated to begin. 'While the Department’s participation this year will be more limited than in previous years, NASFAA remains committed to providing timely information, practical guidance, and meaningful opportunities for attendees to engage on the policy and operational issues affecting their campuses.'

During NASFAA’s conference, on July 1, key provisions from the One Big Beautiful Bill Act will take effect—including a loan cap for postbaccalaureate students that is prorated based on enrollment, a new loan repayment plan and the introduction of Pell Grants for short-term job training programs.
