Bracing for the Surge: How Schools Are Preparing for More Private Loans

Nov 25, 2025 -2:00 PM EST

As federal loan options will change as of 7/1/2026, many institutions are anticipating a surge in private loan borrowing. In this session, you will hear from colleagues from a four-year public university and a private graduate/professional institution, who will share how they’re adapting to prepare. We’ll explore the upcoming changes to the Parent PLUS and Grad PLUS loan programs, discuss strategies for assessing potential institutional impacts, and outline proactive steps schools can take now to be ready for what’s ahead.
