OBBBA: Strengthening Financial Aid Operations Before They Brea

Описание: The One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA/OB3) restructures federal financial aid in ways that take effect July 1, 2026. This session covers what changes, what's still pending, and what your school can do right now.

Portico's financial aid experts walk through the specifics: Pell eligibility, federal loan caps, the elimination of Grad PLUS, new Parent PLUS limits ($20K annual, $65K aggregate), enrollment intensity proration, and the grandfathering (legacy) rule. They also cover how Portico's CORE software is being updated to handle the mechanics automatically.

This is Part 1 of an ongoing OBBBA webinar series for financial aid directors, administrators, and campus operations staff at career-focused schools.

In this session:
How OB3 restructures Pell, loans, and repayment.
Why policy changes break operations before they break systems.
How the grandfathering rule works and how to track it.
What schools can stabilize now before July 1.
How CORE automates enrollment monitoring and loan proration.
