New Federal Loan Caps May Push Students Toward Riskier Private Lending Options

New Federal Loan Caps May Push Students Toward Riskier Private Lending Options

New federal caps on student borrowing are set to take effect, limiting the amount parents and graduate students can borrow. The caps are intended to encourage colleges to lower tuition costs. However, universities and private lenders are already establishing private lending options to fill the gap, potentially leading students into riskier debt. The financial services company Ascent has raised $45 million to expand its student lending platform, and several universities are partnering with private lenders to maintain tuition revenue. The caps, part of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, will significantly reduce federal lending, impacting students' ability to afford higher education.
