United States119th CongressHR-6677House of Representatives
Updated: Dec 11, 2025

Summary

This bill seeks to reverse reductions in federal loan availability for graduate and professional students. It specifically targets changes enacted under Public Law 119-21, which previously limited access to these crucial financial aid programs. The legislation achieves this by amending Section 455(a) of the Higher Education Act of 1965. These amendments involve striking specific paragraphs and modifying language related to annual and aggregate loan limits, effectively restoring the prior scope of federal loan programs for advanced degree seekers. The overall goal is to ensure that graduate and professional students maintain access to the necessary federal financial assistance for their education.
