Abstract
Federal student loan reform continues to be an ongoing conversation, particularly given student loan reform is a central component of the proposed One Big Beautiful Bill (0888).
Three proposed changes included in the bill have sparked significant concern across the dental education and public health communities: the elimination of the Graduate PLUS (Grad PLUS) loan program, the imposition of stricter limits on the Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) program, and the repeal of key income-driven repayment (IDR) plans, including Income-Contingent Repayment (ICR), Pay As You Earn (PAYE), and the Saving on a Valuable Education (SAVE) plan.
