Now that the first academic year since the implementation of new loan limits on graduate and professional degrees is well underway, some institutions have adjusted to these constraints by lowering tuition costs, but getting a clearer picture of what students are paying for higher education, as a result of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA), will require more data.

The American Federation of Teachers (AFT) on Friday filed a class action lawsuit against the Department of Education (ED), alleging that ED is illegally withholding or delaying Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) buyback determinations, failing to award borrowers credit for time worked in public service, and illegally clawing back previously credited time.

Every year, NASFAA recognizes outstanding members and other higher education stakeholders for their achievements and contributions to financial aid, students, and/or NASFAA. Nominate your colleagues for awards such as the Gold Star Award, the Robert P. Huff Golden Quill Award, and the Allan W. Purdy Distinguished Service Award, among others. Award winners will be announced this summer at the NASFAA 2027 National Conference in San Diego, CA. Nominations are due Feb. 5, 2026 — submit yours today!

As the landscape of financial aid and higher education continues to evolve, financial aid professionals are increasingly expected to adapt and take on new responsibilities — including roles in university enrollment management. The Strategic Enrollment Management Pathway at the NASFAA 2027 Leadership & Legislative Conference & Expo is designed to help experienced aid professionals align their work with institutional enrollment strategies through expert guidance and collaborative discussions. Register today to secure your spot before early bird pricing ends on November 30.
