POST Act of 2025

The POST Act of 2025 requires for-profit colleges receiving federal student aid to generate at least 15% of their revenue from non-federal sources, such as tuition, fees, and approved job training contracts, to maintain eligibility for federal funding. It defines "non-federal revenue" to include tuition, campus-based student activities, and non-eligible program fees (e.g., courses not covered by federal aid), while excluding institutional loans, certain scholarships, and most federal funds. Institutions failing this 15% threshold would lose eligibility for at least two years and must demonstrate compliance for two consecutive fiscal years to regain it. The bill also mandates annual reports to Congress detailing each institution's revenue sources from federal and non-federal streams.
