POST GRAD Act
This bill reinstates the federal government's authority to provide Direct Stafford Loans to graduate and professional students, preventing them from losing access to these loans after 2012. It temporarily extends this loan program through June 30, 2025, by modifying the Higher Education Act to remove a prior termination clause. The key provision allows graduate students to continue borrowing for education costs during this temporary period. This directly affects graduate and professional students who rely on these loans to cover tuition and expenses.
