Financial Aid and Graduate Recruitment

New federal mandates require the discontinuation of the Graduate PLUS loan program for new borrowers starting in the 2026–2027 academic year. Christian colleges must update all graduate recruitment materials to reflect new borrowing caps and income-based accountability standards. To ensure enrollment marketing accuracy, your financial aid web pages must clearly explain these transitions to prospective master's and doctoral students. SKG provides higher ed compliance consultant services to audit your graduate aid descriptions for accuracy.
