These changes include establishing new loan limits for graduate students, professional students, and parents, and phasing out the Graduate PLUS Program. The Department notes that the term \"professional student\" as used in this Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) is intended solely to distinguish those programs that we propose would be eligible for higher loan limits, as required by the OBBB. The designation, or lack thereof, of a program as \"professional\" does not reflect a value judgment by the Department regarding whether a borrower graduating from the program is considered a \"professional.\" This NPRM only interprets the phrase \"professional student\" as used in the context of the loan limits established by the OBBB. The OBBB also simplifies the current broken and confusing myriad of Federal student loan repayment plans by phasing out the existing Income-Contingent Repayment (ICR) plans, creating a new tiered standard repayment plan option, and implementing a new income-driven repayment plan known as the Repayment Assistant Plan. The OBBB also enables borrowers in default who have previously rehabilitated a defaulted loan a second chance to rehabilitate their loan(s) and resume repayment.","document_number":"2026-01912","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2026/01/30/2026-01912/reimagining-and-improving-student-education","pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2026-01-30/pdf/2026-01912.pdf","public_inspection_pdf_url":"https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2026-01912.pdf?1769694321","publication_date":"2026-01-30","agencies":[{"raw_name":"DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION","name":"Education Department","id":126,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/education-department","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/126","parent_id":null,"slug":"education-department"}],"excerpts":"limits create indirect costs for institutions.
