just found out that the big bulls*t bill is stopping federal PLUS loans if not dispersed by July 1, 2026
wait... and i have been doing research for the past week and didnt come up until small print this morning??? maybe im super late to the game but all these loans have always sounded the same to me until I sat down and made a flow sheet. I was really relying on it because they qualify for student loan forgiveness programs after 10 years of public service... and when i may be taking out over 500,000$ loans I sleep a little better a night knowing there is a timeline to some financial handcuffs being taken off.
like im crashing out and im only on waitlists so dont even have a financial aid office to get the facts from but like i dont think ill be grandfather-ed in bc i know some schools may be doing a go around by having loans dispersed before July 1 even if school doesnt start to end of July???? ... im actively disassociating
sorry to be the bear-er of bad news if you are reading this and this is how you find out but i feel like its an awkward space to be in if you are on waitlists and just starting to look at loan options knowing your timeline is going to be shorter
